Jhonkensy Noel can be a big contributor for the Cleveland Guardians on offense and defense.
But what exactly can fans expect from the latest Guardians prospect to be called up?If Noel is swinging a hot bat, look out because he can be one of the most dangerous hitters in a lineup. Noel is hitting .295/.359/.578 with an OPS of .937 in his 65 games in the minors this season. He especially showed his power potential over the year hitting 18 home runs and driving 59 RBI.
It wouldn’t be surprising for the power-hitter to take some time to adjust, and with that, see the strikeout percentage rise in his first week or so in the majors. But Noel certainly has shown the ability to overcome this and his plate discipline has really improved this season so it shouldn’t be something to be alarmed about.. Lucky for him, Noel also falls into the category of “player who can play just about everywhere.

Mandatory Credit: Adam Cairns-The Columbus Dispatch / Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA Noel will be making his big league debut at first base on Wednesday night, but he also has minor league experience playing third base, left field, and right field. This isn’t to say that Noel will play all of those positions with the Guardians, but the ability is there if Vogt needs him to.
Noel has been waiting a long time for this opportunity. He was signed by Cleveland as a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic in 2017 and now Noel is getting to live out his life-long dream.
