Kaelen Culpepper a Priority Addition Ahead of Week 10?
Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper continues to demonstrate an impressive blend of power and speed in the minors, and he's getting even closer to his MLB debut now that he has played 50+ games at Triple-A. The 23-year-old is slashing .256/.361/.473 with 12 homers, 12 steals, a 12.7% strikeout rate, a 19.7% walk rate, and 113 wRC+ so far. The underlying metrics are equally encouraging, as he owns a 95.2 mph median exit velocity (91st percentile), a 51.3% hard-hit rate (90th percentile), and a 89.4% zone contact rate (85th percentile). He can get overly aggressive at times, resulting in some chase, but for the most part, he's a well-rounded hitter with an encouraging defensive profile on the left side of the infield. He's nearly a lock to make his MLB debut this summer, and with his power/speed combo, fantasy managers should consider stashing him before his promotion. He ranks #2 among all prospects in RotoBaller's latest redraft fantasy baseball rankings.
