The Minnesota Twins used their first round selection in 2016 on a prep outfielder out of Plum High School in Pittsburgh, PA. That outfielder is left-handed power hitter Alex Kirilloff. Now in 2018, as a member of the Cedar Rapids Kernels, Kirilloff has been tearing up the Midwest League.
After being drafted in 2016, Kirilloff entered the Appalachian League as an 18-year-old. In 55 games he hit .306/.341/.454 and hit nine doubles, a triple, and seven home runs while playing against players that were on average two and a half years older than himself.
