Height: 5-9
Weight: 150 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Short and stocky with a thick lower half, built like a running back.
Hit: Crouched stance where the bat starts behind the head. He is short and quick to the ball with a linear bat-path, and is looking to put the ball in play and wear out the gaps. He has an average understanding of the strike-zone, is average at recognizing pitches out of the hand, and he doesn't swing out of the zone very often. Because of his linear bat-path most of his hits are results of line-drives that he hit in either the left-field or right-field gaps. Grade: 50
Power: When you factor in his bat path and his lack of upper body strength you realize that he doesn't hit the ball overwhelmingly hard. He doesn't lift the ball very often either so that limits the home run potential as he currently plays. Grade: 40
Field: Rosario has played a few different positions, mostly fluctuating between second and third. He has the range to play third occasionally but the arm is slightly lacking, but he could play third occasionally. As a second-baseman he has more than enough range, is average around the bag, and can be moved around and make the requisite plays. Grade: 45
Arm: Average arm, he makes all the throws you would want from a second-base/occasional third-baseman. It is an accurate arm with average carry. Grade: 50
Run: Rosario underway is an average runner, he has a good jump as a base stealer but his foot-speed is just average. He has a short and choppy stride. He is a smart base runner who will go and take the extra base when given the opportunity. I do think as he adds more muscle to his frame he will slow down as a runner. Grade: 50
Overall: Rosario can play a few different spots, I think he could handle a corner outfield spot in a pinch, who projects out as an average hitter with average speed. He has no true standout tool, but a bunch of 50's should give him a possible bench player role, albeit a low-end one. If he ever taps into more power, he becomes a more interesting player.
