Franco bate車 .315/.367/.586 en sus 39 encuentros con los Bulls. Estuvo especialmente encendido este 迆ltimo mes, bateando .371/.405/.686 con 12 extrabases y s車lo 10 ponches en 17 choques en junio, lo que llev車 a Tampa Bay a decidir que estaba listo.\n\nLo m芍s importante a seguir en el proceso de crecimiento y evoluci車n de Franco como jugador son su poder y su defensa.\n\nEl poder de Franco ha estado por detr芍s de su habilidad como bateador natural durante gran parte de su carrera, pero muchos creen que el joven de 5 pies y 10 pulgadas de estatura (1,77 metro) tiene la capacidad de desarrollar un poder por encima del promedio a medida que su cuerpo y talento maduren.

Franco va a poner la bola en juego con mucha frecuencia, pero ser芍 interesante ver cu芍nto podr芍 desarrollar esa fuerza contra los mejores lanzadores del b谷isbol.\n\nDel lado defensivo, Franco fue firmado e inicialmente desarrollado como torpedero y es capaz de ser un defensor promedio en la posici車n. Pero con mucho talento en las paradas cortas en el sistema de liga menor de los Rays y el dominicano Willy Adames (quien fue cambiado a los Cerveceros este a?o) en las Mayores, Franco empez車 a practicar en la tercera y la segunda bases el a?o pasado en la sede alterna. Ese trabaj車 en ambas posiciones continu車 este a?o en Durham, donde comparti車 en cuadro interior con el actual paracorto de los Rays, Taylor Walls.

El dominicano Wander Franco, la promesa Nro. 1 del juego seg迆n MLB Pipeline, ha sido subido por los Rays y har芍 su debut con el club este martes en St. Petersburg contra los Medias Rojas. Franco, quien ya fue el jugador m芍s joven en el roster de un equipo de Triple-A para el D赤a Inaugural, se convertir芍 en el primer nacido en el a?o 2001 en llegar al nivel m芍s alto del b谷isbol organizado.
Por supuesto, es el bate lo que ha llevado a Franco a este lugar. El toletero ambidiestro es uno de apenas dos jugadores en recibir una calificaci車n de 80 puntos por la herramienta de bateo desde que MLB Pipeline empez車 a hacer rankings de prospectos hace 10 a?os. Su compatriota Vladimir Guerrero Jr. es el otro. No es dif赤cil entender c車mo Franco se gan車 ese puntaje. Ver a Franco en el plato es ver a alguien con un bate excepcionalmente r芍pido que controla con maestr赤a. Franco no tiene problemas para llevar la pelota a cada rinc車n del terreno y t赤picamente toma muy buenas decisiones cuando de hacer o no hacer swing se trata, gracias a un plan de trabajo muy avanzado para su edad y experiencia.
Debido a esas herramientas, los Rays han sido agresivos con Franco desde que fue firmado por US$3,825,000 en la Rep迆blica Dominicana el 2 de julio del 2017. Tampa Bay decidi車 que el infielder no necesitaba pasar por los complejos del club en Dominicana y Florida y lo mand車 directamente a Princeton, de categor赤a avanzada de novatos, para su primera estad赤a en las menores en el 2018 con apenas 17 a?os. Franco bate車 .351/.418/.587 con 11 jonrones, 27 bases por bolas y 19 ponches en 61 juegos en la Liga de los Apalaches aquel verano. Encabez車 el circuito con un total de 142 bases alcanzas, a pesar de que ten赤a la misma edad que un muchacho de preparatoria.
Franco continu車 produciendo en los dos niveles en los que jug車 en el 2019. Puso una l赤nea de .327/.398/.487 con nueve cuadrangulares, 56 boletos y s車lo 35 ponches en 114 partidos entre Clase-A Bowling Green y Clase-A Avanzada Charlotte.
Entre el 2018 y el 2019, hubo 1,335 jugadores de ligas menores que hicieron al menos 500 visitas al plato. Franco fue uno de apenas dos de esos 1,335 en batear al menos .300 (.336), tener slugging de por lo menos .500 (.523) y sumar m芍s bases por bolas que ponches (1.5 base por bolas por cada K). El receptor mexicano Alejandro Kirk, de los Azulejos, fue el otro.
A pesar de no haber llegado para ese momento ni siquiera a Doble-A, Franco estuvo en la sede alterna de los Rays el a?o pasado y fue incluido como miembro del grupo de reservas para la postemporada, en caso de que necesitaran que hiciese su estreno en las Mayores durante los playoffs, como le pas車 a otro miembro del ranking de los 100 Mejores Prospectos, Shane McClanahan.
Ese esperado arribo llegar芍 ahora con la noticia de su ascenso tras una s車lida actuaci車n en Triple-A Durham. Franco bate車 .315/.367/.586 en sus 39 encuentros con los Bulls. Estuvo especialmente encendido este 迆ltimo mes, bateando .371/.405/.686 con 12 extrabases y s車lo 10 ponches en 17 choques en junio, lo que llev車 a Tampa Bay a decidir que estaba listo.
Lo m芍s importante a seguir en el proceso de crecimiento y evoluci車n de Franco como jugador son su poder y su defensa.
El poder de Franco ha estado por detr芍s de su habilidad como bateador natural durante gran parte de su carrera, pero muchos creen que el joven de 5 pies y 10 pulgadas de estatura (1,77 metro) tiene la capacidad de desarrollar un poder por encima del promedio a medida que su cuerpo y talento maduren. Demostr車 que es capaz de eso cuando sac車 una pelota fuera del Charlotte Sports Park durante los entrenamientos en marzo y sigui車 avanzando en Triple-A, conectando su primer grand slam el 15 de mayo. Franco va a poner la bola en juego con mucha frecuencia, pero ser芍 interesante ver cu芍nto podr芍 desarrollar esa fuerza contra los mejores lanzadores del b谷isbol.
Del lado defensivo, Franco fue firmado e inicialmente desarrollado como torpedero y es capaz de ser un defensor promedio en la posici車n. Pero con mucho talento en las paradas cortas en el sistema de liga menor de los Rays y el dominicano Willy Adames (quien fue cambiado a los Cerveceros este a?o) en las Mayores, Franco empez車 a practicar en la tercera y la segunda bases el a?o pasado en la sede alterna. Ese trabaj車 en ambas posiciones continu車 este a?o en Durham, donde comparti車 en cuadro interior con el actual paracorto de los Rays, Taylor Walls. Nadie valora m芍s la versatilidad que Tampa Bay y su manager Kevin Cash, as赤 que esperen que Franco siga movi谷ndose por el infield mientras se adapta a las Mayores.
M芍s all芍 de d車nde termine encontrando un hogar defensivo, su bate de har芍 sentir y ahora el mundo tendr芍 la oportunidad de darle una mirada m芍s cercana a uno de los m芍s prometedores bateadores que ha pasado por las ligas menores en la memoria reciente.
