Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2021 IFA
RuleV: 2025

Physical Description: Tall and lanky frame with plenty of projectibility. Needs to desperately add more size as he physically matures. Long limbs and arms.

Hit: Stands upright in the box from the right side; elbows bent with straight legs. Hands stay slightly above the letters. Slight left toe tap in pre-load; minimal movement. Intriguing potential, all raw ability at the plate. Shows some bat present bat speed, doesn't make much consistent hard contact. Hit tool can develop as he matures and receives more playing time Grade: 40

Power: Very little power with his present frame. Doesn't hit the ball hard for much contact, more of a slap-hit approach. More raw power can be added, but not much of a current tool at this point in his development. Grade: 30

Field: Shows solid range in center field with solid speed and instincts. Speed covers good ground to track fly balls in the air. Has the athleticism to stick in center long term with development. Grade: 50

Arm: Little footage on arm strength with throws from the outfield. Limited throws showed fringe-average carry and accuracy. Takes him some time to get into his motion; lacks the current arm strength to reach the infield on deep throws. Grade: 45

Run: Good athleticism and speed out of the box. Runs with a long, fluid stride with solid quickness. Shows the potential to be a base-stealing threat at the next level. Speed translates well defensively. Grade: 55

Overall: Piron was one of the Rays' top international signings in 2021. He is currently as raw as you can get with limited looks, footage and reports. He has a current blend of speed and defensive awareness, but he needs to physically mature and play to see the rest of his tools develop.
