White Sox's Yoelqui Cespedes: Making adjustments in High-A

After smacking a pair of doubles Tuesday for High-A Winston-Salem, Cespedes has lifted his batting line to .286/.350/.491 with six homers, nine steals, 16 RBI and 33 runs in 40 games.

He's been red hot, batting a crisp .353 over his last 21 games. Though Cespedes still isn't walking much, he's actually managed to improve his strikeout rate markedly since the last time we checked in with him, as it's fallen to 27.9 percent -- still not great, but a lot better than the 34.1 percent figure he was sitting on in mid-July. In fact, he's actually gone without a whiff in three straight games for the first time in his minor-league career, and he has a 4:5 BB:K across his last eight contests. Altogether, it looks like the 23-year-old Cuban may be turning a corner in his development, and it's worth watching what happens when he moves up to Double-A, which should happen next year.
