Alberto Barriga
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Barriga presents a challenging projection given competing factors. Athleticism and speed are genuine assets that warrant continued development, but 2025 performance raises significant concerns about offensive profile. Severe injury history at young age, combined with physical limitations inherent to his size, creates durability questions. Best-case scenario involves backup catcher role with occasional starts, relying on speed and athleticism to provide marginal value. More likely projection reflects quad-A type player who may not reach major league availability.
