According to the Major League Prospects measure, the L’Ancienne-Lorette native has done enough over the past year to move up from 14th to fourth on the Twins’ board.
In 2022, Julien was the top offensive engine in Wichita’s Wind Surge at the AA level. In 113 games, he hit .300, drove 67 runs and hit 17 long pitches.
This excellent campaign has not gone unnoticed for the Minnesota team, who added Julien’s name to their list of 40 players last month. He could accept the call of the big club from the coming season.
“For me, the goal is the same every year and to make it to the majors. I guess I’ll start in St. Paul [AAA]but I have no certainty,” he revealed in an interview with “Le Journal de Montréal”.
Baseball America named Julien the twins with the best batting zone measurement.
