Week 4 Little Hero of the Week


Little Hero of the week will no firday to thursday to line up with the hot sheets on BA website.

With that being said here is weeks 4 Hero of the week... OF Oswaldo Arcia!

Team: low Class A Beloit (Midwest)
Age: 19
Why He's Here: .429/.500/.952 (9-for-21), 3 HR, 2 2B, 5 RBIs, 7 R, 3 BB, 3 SO, 1-for-1 SB
The Scoop: The reigning top position-player prospect from the Appalachian League, Arcia's potent bat has helped him overcome a lack of defensive value in the early going. The Twins debated holding Arcia back in extended spring training because of elbow and shoulder ailments, but they ultimately decided to send him to Beloit to DH and make his full-season debut. The buzz of Twins' minor league camp, he has met those lofty expectations even even with one hand pinned behind his back. Arcia leads the Midwest League with his .694 slugging percentage, and he came on strong last week after taking an 0-for-5 (with two walks) in an April 23 doubleheader. He collected a hit in the next four contests, going 9-for-16 with five extra-base hits.
