Elephant Rumblings: Weekend highlights in A’s minor league system

Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!

While the A’s spent most of the weekend squandering brilliant pitching efforts, some of the organizations’s farmhands made impressive showings in the minors.

A’s #1 prospect Tyler Soderstrom had a fine Sunday with the A+ Lansing Lugnuts. He went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBIs.

Putting it all in one spot:
Three Soderstrom swings today - HR (377), 1B, HR (419)

A joy to take in. pic.twitter.com/uT6avksINd— Jesse Goldberg-Strassler (@jgoldstrass) May 15, 2022

Here’s a longer look at the first homer, mainly because I got a kick out of Kim C’s retweet comment:

In fairness to the person running the Lugnuts’ Twitter account, Soderstrom had actually been all of three days without a homer.
