Physical Description:
Large, powerful frame. Strong upper body and thick lower half.
Filled out, no remaining projection. Fringy athlete.
Hit:
Loose hands with an extreme uppercut path. Length in swing
causes him to struggle with velocity and leads to a lot of
swing-and-miss. Solid bat speed, but struggles to recognize
secondary pitches, especially against left-handed pitchers.
Takes advantage of mistake pitches with authority. Really
struggles against left-handed pitchers. Platoon profile,
potential below-average hit tool if limited to facing primarily
right-handed pitchers.
Power: Elite raw power. In-game
power is limited by an inconsistent hit tool. Has the ability to
muscle balls out even when he does not make consistent contact.
Power plays best against right-handed pitchers.
Run: 20 speed. Not a part of his game. Base-clogger.
Field: Limited to first base. Below-average
glove, limited range. Potential below-average defender. |

Arm:
Average arm. Adequate for first base.
Career Notes:
Born and raised in Mexico, moved to California prior to his
junior high school season. Undrafted out of high school.
Selected in the 16th round in 2014 after spending one season in
junior college. Won the 2018 California League Home Run Derby.
Signed with the LG Twins of the KBO for the 2020 and 2021
seasons.
Summation: Potential solid organizational
player. Ceiling of an up-and-down platoon bat. Will likely serve
as insurance at the Triple-A level to start the season, but
could serve as a short-term major league platoon or bench bat in
the right circumstances.
Note: This page will be
updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team
has seen the player in person.
