Probably not the best power in the system, but it's close.
I agree, that was a EDLC type golf swing to dead center.

Three more hits today….dude just hits baseballs.
Re: Christian Encarnacion-Strand
I 'm just looking forward to seeing the clubhouse guys figure out the name on the back of the jersey. I mean Strange- Gordon and Saltalamacchia move over.
He does have easy power. A natural launch and lift swing. Likely low double play ground outs and plenty of sac flys / doubles in bigger ballparks.

Just more reason to rework the uniforms and have no names on the back. Lol

I think he's got a real shot at being a 40 HR guy in the middle of a lineup.
How nice would it be to have a .280/.350+/.550+ guy to pair with Stephenson from the right side for four or five seasons?

It would be really cool if they put "CES" on the back of his uniform

Re: Christian Encarnacion-Strand
What are the Reds going to do with this monster he belongs in AAA along with EDLC.
Re: Christian Encarnacion-Strand
Just from clips posted on this board, I've seen CES hammer a low inside FB, a high off speed bending pitch and a high FB for homers. Haven't seen anything on the outside part of the plate, but if he can handle that his plate coverage is pretty good. This guy is going to be a fixture in the middle of the Reds lineup soon.

The Chattanooga announcer was on the radio pregame show yesterday and he spoke glowingly about this guy. Really likes his baseball IQ and how he thinks about the situation of each AB and adjusts his approach accordingly. Says that we can expect to see him in Cincinnati at some point next year
