4 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff went 2-for-4 with a double in a 5-2 loss to the Rays on Thursday. Kirilloff's first hit of the spring was a loud one, as he ripped an 0-1 changeup into right for a one-out double in the bottom of the second inning. The 23-year-old registered exit velocities of at least 98 MPH on both of his hits. Kirilloff showed why the Twins have been so high on him, as he can really put the barrel to the baseball and hit for contact as well as power. It's early in the spring, and he's only appeared in three games so far- but if he can have more days like this, the Twins will have to keep his bat in the majors. He's currently going off the board at pick number 258.--Tim Capurso
