Physical Description: Tall, projectable frame.
Very thin at present, needs to add significant strength.
Hit: Starts square and in a slight crouch.
Short, leg lift timing device. Rhythmic swing. Smooth, direct to
the ball. Keeps the bat in the zone a long time and rarely
misses pitches in the zone. Needs to improve his pitch
recognition and quality of contact. Gets caught out in front too
easily by secondary pitches and because he makes so much contact
on pitches in the zone, has the tendency to get himself out.
Power: Minimal power at present. Produces
below-average exit velocities. Needs to add strength to his
frame.
Run: Below-average speed, not a
major part of his game.
Field: Played
all three infield spots in 2022. Would have worked out catcher
at the 2022 Fall Performance Program had it not been cancelled
and may see time there in 2023. Smart player with solid
defensive instincts that the Red Sox think is capable of
fielding multiple positions. Continuing coversion to catcher in
2023. |

Arm: Plus arm.
Career Notes:
Brother, Kleyver, signed with the Red Sox in January 2023.
Reportedly referred to as "El Capitán" by teammates for his
leadership. Participated in the 2021 Fall Performance Program.
Was set to participate in the 2022 Fall Performance Program that
was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian.
Summation:
Intriguing player with some solid characteristics at the plate
and in the field. Needs to physically mature in order to be able
to handle more advanced pitching, but defensive profile gives
him a higher-than-usual floor for someone his age.
Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting
report after the scouting team has seen the player in regular
season game action.
