Cole Sands, RHP
Current/Future Fastball: 50/55
Sands gets a lot of life in the upper half of the strike zone. Typically, he is in the low-90s, but he has the ability to hit 95-96 mph. According to FanGraphs, &#x201C;his fastball will creep into the mid-90s with big time tail, the kind that can run off...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10546</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Mar 2021 02:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Spotlight: Episode 31 (Bryan Sammons)</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-spotlight-episode-31-bryan-sammons-r10532/</link><description>Bryan Sammons grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Alerick Soularie, OF
Current/Future Hit Tool: 35/50
Scouts have differing views when it comes to Soularie and his hitting skills. In parts of two seasons at Tennessee, he hit .336/.448/.586 with 31 extra-base hits and more walks than strikeouts.
