Hechavarria a hit with 51s

....and his brother is an alien.  Literally, his name is Alien.

“But whenever Hechavarria gets the coveted call from the Blue Jays, it’s likely a couple of his key family members won’t be able to share in the joy of his big league debut.

Hechavarria’s mother, Mirta, and older brother, Alien, still live in communist Cuba”

Alien and Illegal Alien. Brothers. The movie.

Hechavarria started turning on the jets in his last couple of weeks with New Hampshire last year. His hot streak continued in Vegas (and was apparently not park-driven; he did most of the damage in more neutralish road parks) and apparently he's still on it. I recall reading that this all coincided with some kind of mechanical adjustment. Too early to say whether any of it's real, and his first year-and-a-half of pro baseball was some kind of learning period or something, but if he can actually hit then that's huge for the Jays.
