Emmanuel Rodriguez Shatters Triple-A Record with Monster Home Run

0:00It's April 19th. This is MLB News Today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. At Manuel Rodriguez, the Minnesota twins' number 4 prospect just shattered a AAA franchise record with the hardest hit home run ever for St. Ciro. Paul, in a game against Lehigh Valley, his 439-foot blast clocked 116.6 miles per hour off the bat. That's pure power from the 23-year-old outfielder. This moonshot also marks the hardest round-tripper in the entire twins organization in nearly two years. Rodriguez already owns the top 4 exit velocities in the system this season, including a 451-foot grand slam at 100, 13.6 miles per hour. Fans and scouts are buzzing because his bat speed and strength put him in a lead company. As MLB's number 66 overall prospect, he's slashing 273 over 397 over 527-15 games, with

1:004 homers already. His hard hit rate sits at 50% leading AAA. Injuries like knee and oblique problems limited him to about 59 games per year before this, but he stayed mostly healthy in 20. 26. Missing just a few for illness. Strikeouts are down a bit too, letting that power shine through. If Rodriguez keeps this up and shakes the injury bug, expect him to climb fast toward the majors, bringing thunder to the twins lineup.
