White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Homers twice Wednesday

Moncada went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Analysis:

Moncada, who was hitting .200 with 13 strikeouts in 30 at-bats entering Wednesday's game, finally busted out this spring. The two-homer explosion doesn't move the needle in terms of him starting the season with the White Sox, but it is a reminder of the elite talent that's half a season away from the majors. He's expected to start the 2017 season at Triple-A Charlotte, where Moncada will work to improve his pitch recognition and better handle breaking balls.
