Guardians Infield Prospect Homers For Third Straight Game

C.J. Kayfus, Travis Bazzana, Jaison Chourio, Will Brennan, and other Cleveland Guardians minor league position players are red-hot at the moment.

It has been a strong start to the season for the Guardians’ farm system.

Nobody, however, is hotter than Triple-A infielder Will Wilson.

The guy just shows up to the stadium, produces, and accumulates incredible numbers.

Those numbers will eventually result in a call-up to the major leagues, sooner or later.

On Saturday, he went yard for the third straight game.

He already has more homers this year than in his entire 2024 minor league season.

The Guardians picked up Wilson in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 Draft a few months ago.

Evidently, they have worked on his swing and made it much more dangerous.

It’s not like he had zero power: his career-high in a year is 18, between the San Francisco Giants’ Double-A and Triple-A teams in 2023.

It’s nothing if we compare it to what he’s doing right now in Cleveland, though.

Everything that comes off his bat is hard, which makes it much more difficult for the defense to successfully field the ball.

The Guardians have had a lot of patience with shortstop Brayan Rocchio, and even though he is a phenomenal fielder, his bat is way behind.

If they decide to make a change, Wilson is certainly doing everything in his power to get the first shot.
