Olivar a legit prospect for Kernels after a strong run
The 22 year old Ricardo Olivar, one of 22 international Minn esota Twins signings in 2019, has impressed with two home runs in a 7-6 win over Quad Cities and an RBI single in a 5-3 victory. Olivar, who earned a modest $20,000 bonus, has posted a .292 average with five homers in 30 games for the Kernels, and credits adjustments to his load for improved plate discipline. He aims to keep producing and avoid chasing pitches outside the zone as he progresses in the Midwest League.
