Jhonkensy Noel has worked hard to make plays with his glove while impressing Cleveland with his power at the plate.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Guardians rookie outfielder Jhonkensy Noel was one of the first players Stephen Vogt met at the club’s Arizona training facility after he was hired as manager in November. Vogt remembers asking Noel if he was there lifting weights in the offseason to get bigger and stronger.
“It’s just about always getting the sensation of having a good connection,” Noel said via Guardians interpreter Agustin Rivero. “Because like told me in spring training, I can hit the ball 500 feet or 100 hundred feet, but the important part for me is to put it in play some place. Whenever I’m able to put it in play, that’s when I get good results.”
Noel’s teammates have also been impressed with the rookie’s progress. Josh Naylor said Noel is getting the job done on both sides of the ball.
