Francisca’s Power Surge Shocks Midwest | Cleveland News

Guardians prospect Welbyn Francisca just won Midwest League Player of the Week, marking his fifth such honor this season — a stunning run for High-A Lake County. The 20-year-old, ranked 13 by MLB Pipeline, obliterated stats last week with four homers in six games and 24 total bases, posting a .400 average and an OPS near .600. Since joining the Captains, he’s been unstoppable: .273/.550+ slugging in 44 games, already 13 homers (up from 3 last year), driving in 39 runs and scoring 30. His breakout is no fluke — a massive leap from his Single-A struggles. If he keeps this up, a Double-A call-up next season seems likely, signaling a bright future for both Francisca and the Guardians’ farm system, even as the big league team battles on the field.
