Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 20 yr
Height: 5-9
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: S/L
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Short and wiry frame. More room to grow and mature physically. Compact upper half with short arms and loose shoulders. Short legs create quick bursts of speed.

Hit: Open and wide stance from both sides, hands remain above the letters. Doesn't incorporate his lower half much into his swing. Looks more comfortable from the left side of the plate. Gets better leverage and creates more solid contact. Very subtle leg kick within his load. Hands drop when making contact. Struggles with velocity, needs to improve plate discipline for more consistent results. Grade: 45

Power: Little power present from both sides. Lacks consistent extension and drive for extra bases. Drives an occasional hanger to right field as a left-handed batter. More of a contact-oriented hitter. Has time to develop more raw power if he matures physically. Grade: 20

Field: Shows good range and ability to cover ground in center field. Has good instincts to get a jump on the ball defensively. Speed and athleticism cover up some bad routes and mental errors. Has a solid foundation defensively and continues to improve. Grade: 55

Arm: Throws lack velocity and timing. Runners advance when he makes a catch deep in center field. Throws come out accurately, but lack the zip needed to tag opposing base runners. Needs to improve his arm to highlight his defensive prowess. Grade: 40

Run: Above average speed with quick bursts and acceleration. Lacks true top-end speed, but has enough to stretch for extra bases. Reads the pitcher well, gets a good jump for stolen bases. Has good awareness and athleticism on the basepaths. Grade: 55

Overall: Barrosa's athleticism and defensive prowess have shined for a teenager. His hit tool and power are well behind other prospects in the system. He has the speed and range to stick in center field, but his offensive profile must improve to develop and tap into his potential.
