🚀 Standout of The Day

Luisangel Acuña, OF/MI, Chicago White Sox

Stats: 2/3 HR, 2 RBI

Notable Data: 104.3 mph HR, 106.6 mph 1B

Why The Performance Matters:

While Acuña may have graduated last year, he feels young enough and worthy enough to talk about on a day when few prospects really stood out in a big way. The switch hitter had quite the day, blasting a 104.3 mph home run that traveled 419 feet and a single that left the bat at 106.6 mph.

Being traded to the White Sox as part of the Luis Robert Jr. trade, Acuña now finds himself in a situation where he should get regular playing time. Primarily playing in the middle infield last year, Acuña has been getting reps in centerfield, which could be his avenue to playing time. It does not seem likely that Colson Montgomery or Chase Meidroth gets bumped from their spots at short or second, but Acuña stands a good chance to take the centerfield spot that Brooks Baldwin seems penciled into.

While we are talking about a tiny sample to this point, it is worth pointing out that Acuña has been hitting the cover off the ball, running an average exit velocity over 100 mph. The launch angle is also up from what we have previously seen as Acuña put the ball on the ground at a 55 percent clip last season. While we don’t want to take too much away from his small sample size at this point, there might be some intruige here, especially with regular playing time.

Fantasy Spin:

Acuña has plenty of wheels and speed to burn on the basepaths. He swiped 16 on 17 attempts in the Majors last season and stole 40 and 57 the previous two seasons in the minors. Power has never been a part of his game, but if Acuña can be a ten-homer bat, all of a sudden we are looking at an intriguing fantasy asset. -CC
