Sosa played in the AZL last year as Carlos Cleto, hitting .262-1-35. As part of the crackdown on age falsifications, his real name and birthdate (Oct. 20, 1981, compared to May 19, 1983) were revealed. But he also added some power and 54 points to his average, blossoming in his second season in Arizona. Sosa could hit 20-30 homers annually and also shows good speed on the bases. "He really improved over last year," Escalera said. "He has good raw power now, with center-field skills and a right-field arm."
