Christian Encarnacion-Strand is killing it
Not that you needed to be told that Christian Encarnacion-Strand was tearing the cover off of the ball, but we’re here to tell you anyways. In spring training he’s leading everyone or tied at the top of the list in home runs, runs batted in, hits, extra-base hits, total bases, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS. He’s hitting an absurd .625/.600/1.292 with an OPS of 1.892.
