MESA, Ariz. -- The presence Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler provides in the Chicago Cubs' spring training locker room is all about the visuals. He’s a man of few words -- in Spanish or English -- but his size stands out among any athletes.

“He’s real big,” was the first observation new manager Joe Maddon made of Soler on Day 1 of camp.

He has a few more now.

“I liked his feet,” Maddon said after watching Soler in defensive drills recently. “His arm is really good.”

Cubs fans got a taste of Soler last season and they must have liked what they saw -- and not just in his 6-4, 215-pound frame. Make that 242 pounds, now. Soler put on muscle this offseason on an already freakishly athletic body. You can see it in his arms.

“I feel real good,” Soler said Monday through staff assistant/translator Franklin Font. “I feel great.”

The Cubs signed Soler to a nine-year contract in 2012 as the pipeline from Cuba is only getting better and better. Soler played in just 24 games last season after being called up from Triple-A Iowa, but made more than a lasting impression by hitting .292 with a .330 on-base percentage to go along with five home runs and 20 RBIs.

Since he’s a man of few words, let’s have some fun with a deeper look into his statistics, providing a picture of what he could be while also realizing it is a tiny sample size and pitchers' adjustments are coming.

These Sabermetric numbers are according to ESPN Stats and Information, and the rankings indicate where he would have ranked among qualified hitters if he had enough at-bats.

His .209 hard-hit average would have ranked 15th in all of baseball. It means he made hard contact in nearly 21 percent of his at-bats. The major league average for qualified hitters was .166.

Soler’s .573 slugging percentage would have ranked second only behind fellow Cuban, Jose Abreu.

His Isolated Power -- calculated by total bases (slugging pct) minus hits (batting avg.) divided by at-bats -- would have ranked first in baseball. It means a good amount of his hits left the park. His home run-to-fly ball rate was 25 percent, which have been good for third among qualified hitters. League average was 11 percent.
