Is Luisangel Acuña good?
Luisangel has the potential to become a quality big league regular. He made his debut in 2021 at the age of 19 and he ranked third in the Low-A East in runs (77), hits (110) and steals (44).
Luisangel has an aggressive approach and a surprisingly explosive right-handed stroke.
He also has a penchant for making hard contact and could develop average power if he adds more loft to his swing.
He does sometimes get pull-happy and may need more patience against upper-level pitchers but nevertheless is an advanced hitter for his age.
