Physical Description: Strong upper body with broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist. Solid athlete; projectable frame which should maintain athleticism and speed as he fills out physically.
Hit: Open stance with hands just above shoulders; feet slightly wider than shoulder width; pronounced leg kick as a timing mechanism. Hands work well, short swing with above-average bat speed; rotates hips well. Needs to work on approach; issues with pitch recognition, tends to sell out for power. Grade: 40
Power: Bat speed coupled with projectable frame that should add strength could bring solid average power down the road. Bat path features slight uppercut but contact is generally of a line drive nature. His plus speed should allow for him to generate extra base hits even if over the fence power doesn't fully materialize. Grade: 50
Field: Potential decent defender up the middle; speed and athleticism give him some additional range. He fields the ball out in front and has soft hands; transfers the ball well; shows good footwork working to his arm side. Grade: 45
Arm: Fluid, quick arm; releases ball well; good carry across the diamond; enough arm to handle SS long term. Does have some accuracy issues which cause overall grade to play closer to average. Grade: 50
Run: Plus runner; especially once he's underway; speed should be an asset both on the bases and on defense. Has been timed at 6.4 second in the 60. Grade: 60
Overall: Rosario has an interesting collection of tools. At he plate, he has the potential to hit for enough average and provide some pop; approach must improve for projection to come to fruition. Defensively, he should be able to remain in the middle of the diamond given his speed and athleticism. Like most high school draftees the profile carries a fair amount of risk given the relative distance from maximizing his potential.
