Alerick Soularie

Scouting Report

August 2022 Update
The Twins used their 2nd round draft pick in 2020 to select Soularie from the University of Tennessee. In 2019 and the Covid-shortened 2020 season, he hit .336/.448/.586 (1.034) with 14 doubles and 16 homers. His pro debut had to wait until late in the 2021 season after a foot injury .In 28 games with Ft. Myers, he hit just .219. He moved up to Cedar Rapids this season and got off to a very slow start. However, over the second half of his season, he has hit much better. 

Soularie is not a big man, but he does have the ability to hit the ball with great authority. As he grows, he should be able to hit a lot of doubles and even home runs. He’s also got a discerning eye at the plate, willing to take walks and get on base. Soularie has good speed and is generally a strong baserunner, capable of stealing bases. 

Defensively, he is still working at several positions. In 2021, he played second base. In 2022, he has continued to spend about half of his time at second base with the other half of games being split between the three outfield positions, though mostly in left field.
