Arnaldo Lantigua
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Arnaldo Lantigua projects as a power-dependent corner outfielder whose eventual major league success is entirely contingent upon whether he can develop an average hit tool and plate discipline to complement his elite raw power. The most likely scenario involves him becoming a second-division right fielder who accumulates moderate offensive value through home run production while carrying significant strikeout and weak contact risk. Best-case scenario has him developing into an everyday right fielder with 25-30 home run upside and solid defensive value, but this outcome requires substantial improvement in secondary pitch recognition and handedness-neutral performance. Worst-case scenario sees him become a platoon-dependent performer or minor league casualty if the hit tool fails to develop adequately. Given his age (19) and limited experience outside the DSL, significant variance remains in his outcome.
