RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Ona is on the stockier side at 6-0 235 pounds. Well filled out lower half with thick arms. Very stocky, built like a fire hydrant.
Hit: Ona comes up to the plate with one thing on his mind and that's to take aggressive hacks early and often. He has a simple pre-pitch setup where he has a slight bend at the knee and starts with his bat perpendicular to the ground. He has a very pull-heavy approach and he pairs that with an uppercut bat-path. He is rather aggressive and that leads to swing and misses on pitches in the zone, and another concerning aspect of his game is he also expands the zone especially on breaking pitches spotted low and away. He has shown an ability to draw a walk because he has an average understanding of the strike-zone but he does struggle to recognize spin out of the pitcher's hand and in his short big league stint pitchers were able to exploit this with good breaking balls that start low in the zone and break out of the zone. Grade: 40
Power: Ona has plus raw power thanks to his combination of bat-speed, plus raw strength, and his uppercut swing path, and from time to time he translates that raw power into games. He easily accesses that power to his pull-side. His lack of consistent contact will hamper how much power he plays with in games. Grade: 55
Field: Ona is rather limited defensively and that hurts the overall profile. He isn't the most athletic nor does he have exceptional range. He doesn't make the greatest reads off the bat either, he is limited to a corner outfield spot and even then it's more than likely he is best used as a left-fielder. The arm is going to help him provide some value on the defensive end. Grade: 45
Arm: The Padre's farmhand has an above arm and for the most part makes accurate throws. He has more than enough carry and velocity on his throws to play a corner outfield spot. Grade: 55
Run: Jorge Ona is a lumbering runner with a short and choppy stride. He isn't a great athlete either so he's not very explosive either out of the box or on the basepaths. He won't be much of a stolen base threat. Grade: 40
Overall: orge Ona has already made the big leagues and to continue to stay as a major leaguer I believe he will have to consistently tap into his power. He is limited defensively, and isn't a great athlete so that hurts the way in which he can impact a roster. He profiles best as a pinch-hitter that occasionally gets a shot to play left-field to give the starters a rest.
