Maximo Acosta
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Acosta's path is increasingly tied to becoming a reliable utility infielder or second baseman rather than holding a clear everyday shortstop job. The athleticism, running ability, compact swing, and prior evidence of improved strike-zone control give him a chance to reach an up-and-down or bench role if the bat returns to its 2024 level. His floor is lower because the 2025-26 upper-level performance has included substantial swing-and-miss and very limited on-base impact, while his power is not sufficient to carry a corner profile. A return to average contact quality, better performance against left-handed pitching, and dependable infield execution are necessary for a sustained major-league opportunity.
