Christian Encarnacion Strand. We acquired him as part of the Tyler Mahle trade last year (along with Spencer Steer). He is a hard hitting right handed 1B/DH who has dabbled at 3B (although we have much better options at that position in the major leagues) who is playing incredibly well in the minor leagues this season (and last season).

At the moment, he is hitting .321/.392/.620/1.012 over 65 games and 306 plate appearances in AAA. He's hit 20 homeruns, with 17 doubles and 2 triples.

This is after a season in 2022 where he hit .304/.368/.587/.955 across 122 games and 538 plate appearances between A+ and AA (before and after the trade).
