4 years agoMinnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco has quietly gotten off to a really strong start. Polanco tagged a solo home run 391 feet at 102.3 MPH to start off the scoring on Tuesday, adding a single later on in the contest. Polanco owns just three extra-base hits but has 20 hits total, which is second to only Nelson Cruz on the team. The 27-year-old is hitting less line drives and fly balls this year, though his home run to fly ball ratio hasn't changed dramatically. If Polanco can start to lift some balls in the air and make more hard contact- his hard contact percentage is down 7.8 points- like he did on Tuesday, his power numbers will surely start to show up. For now, fantasy owners can live with the hits and low strikeout numbers.--Tim Capurso
