Physical Description:
Large-framed. Powerful, with elite athleticism. Minimal remaining
projection.
Hit:
Below-average hit tool. Above-average bat speed, lofty swing. Lots
of swing-and-miss in his game. Overly agressive approach, lacks
plate discipline. Subpar pitch recognition. Struggles against
left-handed pitchers. Lack of consistent
contact is a major obstacle to his major league potential.
Power: Plus raw power to all
fields. Really impacts the ball when he makes contact. Capabale
of hitting massive home runs.
Run:
Plus speed, but not a stolen base threat.
Field: Came up through the minor leagues as a shortstop
and center fielder. Was significantly error prone at those
positions. Now plays mostly
left field. Below-average defensive player with solid range.
Questionable instincts.
Arm: Plus arm. |
|
Career Notes:
Cousin of Socrates Brito. Signed by San Diego as an
international free agent in 2011. Was a highly regarded prospect
for the Padres heading into his major league debut in 2017.
Missed time in 2018 with a groin injury and forerarm soreness.
Traded to Kansas City in July 2020. Went on the IL in August
2020 with a wrist injury. Traded to Boston in 2021 in the three
team, multi-player Andrew Benintendi trade. Was on the COVID-related
injury list with Boston in February through March 2021.
Struggled in early 2021 with the Red Sox, optioned ot Worcester
in late May. Was designated for assignment in October 2021, but
signed a one-year deal for 2022 before being placed on and
clearing waivers. Received a non-roster invitation to MLB spring
training in 2022.
Summation:
Has the tools to develop into an impact regular, but would need to make
significant improvements with his approach and pitch recognition.
Also needs to make strides defensively. Does not profile
particularly well as a pinch hitter or fourth outfielder. Floor of
an up-and-down outfielder who could catch some hot streaks at
the big league level.
