Alerick Soularie

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Minnesota Twins #17 prospect in 2021
  TRACK RECORD: The Cardinals drafted Soularie out of San Jacinto (Texas) JC in the 29th round in 2018, but he instead opted to transfer to Tennessee. He upped his draft stock by becoming one of the Volunteers' most reliable hitters in two seasons in Knoxville and finished with a career .336/.448/.586 slash line. The Twins drafted him 59th overall in 2020 and signed him for $900,000.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: A bit of a throwback player, Soularie has an old-school setup at the plate with a hunched and closed-off stance. His hands do most of the work in his swing and he has demonstrated the bat-to-ball skills to be an average hitter. The Twins want to help him try and access his average raw power, which he didn't do much in college. Primarily a left fielder at Tennessee, Soularie spent most of his time at second base in instructional league after being drafted. He is a solid runner and has the tools to be an adequate infielder, although it's still a work in progress.
  
  THE FUTURE: Soularie is a well-rounded player who can do a little bit of everything. How his power and infield defense develop will determine if he reaches his everyday potential.

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #175 prospect in 2020 draft
  Soularie was one of the best hitters on Tennessee’s team as a sophomore. He led full-time starters in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage (.357/.466/.602). He wasn’t as sharp in the Cape Cod League (.207/.303/.345) and his brief junior year was an up-and-down affair. He led the Volunteers with five home runs, but he also was dead last among the team’s regulars with a .267 batting average. He also walked 12 times compared to eight strikeouts. Soularie is more of a well-rounded prospect than one with particularly loud tools. He’s an average hitter with average power. He can catch up to almost any fastball, but he sometimes can get caught guessing. Soularie has tried second base and center field, but he’s likely an average left fielder in pro ball.
