Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Minnesota Twins announce that INF Joe Cronin has been promoted to double-A Pensacola and INF Hunter Lee will join the Kernels from Elizabethton. Jeremy Zoll, Twins Director of Minor League Operations, announced the move.
The Twins selected Lee in the 27th round of the 2018 First Year Player Draft out of High Point University in North Carolina. He split time last season between the GCL Twins and Elizabethton, hitting a combined .264 (24-91) with 2 HR and 12 RBI in 33 games.
Cronin was batting .263 (5-19) in six games for the Kernels this season with a double, triple and RBI. He was selected by the Twins in the 34th round of the 2016 First Year Player Draft out of Boston College.
