Overall: Lora was signed for $3.9 million out of the Dominican Republic as part of the Rangers 2019 J2 class. He's an impressive physical specimen, standing 6'4", and a solid 220 pounds, but he's likely larger than that. He's a big dude. He has immense strength with at least 70 raw, and it might even be 80 as there's a chance the big man can pop 40 homers consistently in the future. That all depends on the hit tool, and if he gets the hit tool to 40, he's a middle of the order bat. He's a bit of a free swinger and will chase breaking balls off the plate, but he's only 18. He's a very large dude, but don't mistake that for out of shape. Not the case. Below-average outfield range will push him to first base sooner or later. Lora can mash, the question is how much the hit tool will allow.
