Yoelqui Cespedes Stats

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Yoelqui Cespedes signed with the team in 2021 and has strung together a couple of solid seasons. He has great bat speed and an ability to put the ball in play, though there's also hope that his power will improve over the next few years. With that said, Cespedes' walk and strikeout rates make it clear that he does have some discipline problems that could get progressively worse at higher levels of pro baseball. Defensively, he has a strong arm and enough speed to play center field. Said speed also makes him a masterful base-stealer. Cespedes is coming off a strong week at Double-A in which he went 7-for-17 with three doubles, two homers, five RBI, five walks, five strikeouts, and four stolen bases. He did a little bit of everything for the club, which is what the White Sox hope they can get out of him in the majors someday. He doesn't need to slug 40 homers, hit .350, or steal 40 bases. Instead, he can provide the well-roundedness needed to achieve on both offense and defense.
