Kyle Teel Goes Deep Twice For Charlotte
Two things stand out about Kyle Teel: he hits the ball hard, and he makes solid contact. His hit tool is evident in his 18-game hitting streak, and his power was on display with the first two-homer game of his career on Thursday for Triple-A Charlotte. The longballs combined to travel 777 feet. The 23-year-old is hitting .284 with an .836 OPS. Teel, one of the pieces acquired in the Garrett Crochet trade with the Red Sox, has been hot all month, and it’ll be intriguing to see what the White Sox do, especially after calling up Edgar Quero earlier this season. Teel isn’t as polished as Quero defensively, but his bat might be too hot to ignore. His presence on the White Sox wouldn’t change the trajectory of the season, as the club is in the midst of another struggling year.
