Watch SiriusXM Futures Game MVP Yoan Moncada go upper deck at Petco Park

By Chris Landers

There's plenty to know about Yoan Moncada -- he's MLB Pipeline's No. 5 prospect and climbing, he's shot through three levels of the Minors since the Red Sox signed him out of Cuba last year, and there isn't much he can't do on a baseball field. 
But if you remember one thing about Yoan Moncada, let it be this: He is very, very strong. Don't believe us? Let's go to the video tape:

That strength isn't just limited to the weight room, though. Exhibit A: the SiriusXM Futures Game in San Diego on Sunday night, when Moncada launched one to the second deck at Petco Park.

That blast put the World team ahead, 4-3, in the top of the eighth, and it wouldn't look back in an 11-3 victory. Moncada, for his part, finished 2-for-5 with a steal and was named MVP of the game. We told you he could do everything.
