Some minor league hitters pad their power numbers by pulling the ball down the line, but others are capable of driving the ball deep to all parts of the field. What follows is a listing of the top opposite-field power hitters at each level of the minor leagues. The players are ranked by isolated power on balls in play to opposite field and total number of fly balls and line drives that were pulled or hit to opposite field are also listed.

Triple-A          Pull | Opposite Field
Player           Total   Total 2B 3B HR
Mario Valenzuela    27      15  2  0  4
Matt Tolbert         7      15  3  2  2
Craig Brazell        9      13  1  0  3
Delwyn Young        14      15  5  0  2
Brandon Moss        13      11  5  0  1

Brazell, a former New York Mets prospect, has turned his career around in the Kansas City organization. He is the minor league home run leader, and he has hit a few to left field though most of his homers land over the center field fence. Brandon Moss has eight home runs this year; most of those are hit to right field but he has plenty of extra-base hits to left field.

Matt Miller        11       21  4  1  2
Lee Mitchell       18       16  3  0  2 

Jeff Larish has a .238 batting average, but his power production has been outstanding this year.

Class A Advanced  Pull | Opposite Field
Player           Total   Total 2B 3B HR
Aaron Bates          9      26  7  1  6
Taylor Teagarden    10      14  4  0  3
Cameron Maybin      10      15  2  1  3
Ryan Roberson       22      17  2  1  3
Tony Granadillo     14      16  4  1  2

Aaron Bates is taking advantage of his home hitting environment, but he is also having some success going to opposite field twice as often as he pulls the ball on the road. Jay Bruce also ranks in the top ten with 6 opposite-field doubles and a pair of opposite-field home runs.

Class A           Pull | Opposite Field
Player           Total   Total 2B 3B HR
Chris Hatcher       10      11  2  0  4
Daniel Garcia        6      19  6  0  5
Jonel Pacheco       26      12  3  0  3
Quinn Stewart        8      13  1  1  3
Jared Goedert       14      22  2  0  6

Jared Goedert has the second-highest number of home runs in all of the minor leagues this year. The 21-year-old is best when he's pulling the ball, but his six home runs to right field show he's strong enough to launch a home run to any part of the park. Garcia, a 19-year-old shortstop in the Marlins organization, is flying well under the radar despite some very impressive production considering his young age.
