Angel Cepeda
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Cepeda has a credible path to an upper-minors role because the package is balanced: athletic infield mobility, an above-average arm, useful running ability, and enough bat-to-ball skill to avoid being one-dimensional. The ceiling is a second-division everyday second baseman if the 2026 power gains are real and he improves his chase decisions against breaking pitches; the floor is a versatile bench or utility profile if the hit tool remains merely fringe-average and shortstop defense does not hold. His physical projection is moderate, but the developmental priority is decision quality more than added bulk. Continued production against better velocity and spin, along with reliable defense at second and occasional shortstop, will determine whether he reaches the major-league roster.
