Javier Vaz
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Vaz projects as a utility infielder with the ability to cover second base, provide emergency shortstop innings, and move to the outfield when roster flexibility is needed. His contact ability, strike-zone judgment, and plus running skill give him a plausible path to a bench role, but the well below-average power leaves little margin if the hit tool does not play at the upper levels. The likely floor is a useful Triple-A depth player, while the ceiling is a contact-oriented major league utility option who contributes with speed, versatility, and on-base skill. To force a sustained roster role, he will need to keep producing against better velocity and show that his defense at second remains reliable enough to compensate for the offensive limitations.
