Edwin Arroyo

Hitting scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

Given his age, defensive home at shortstop, and track record of producing as a young player at upper levels, Arroyo projects as an **everyday shortstop** on a contending team if the bat settles in the league-average band. The path is driven primarily by his glove, athleticism, and switch-hitting contact skills rather than middle-of-the-order power, so even modest offensive growth will support regular playing time. Continued physical maturity and swing fine-tuning could nudge his gap power into the mid-teens home run range, which, paired with above-average defense, would make him a solid regular with occasional above-average seasons. If the bat stalls against MLB pitching, his floor is an infield-first utility role who can still add value via defense and baserunning.
