Rafeliz Lara
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his age, bonus level, and switch-hitting track record, Lara projects as a bat-first middle infielder with a realistic outcome in the organizational depth to up-down range. The path to exceeding that outcome runs through the hit tool, as his contact quality and zone control will have to carry if he shifts off shortstop to second base. Moderate physical projection remains, but the body type suggests he will need to guard against adding too much mass that could sap agility. If the approach and bat-to-ball skills hold against stateside pitching, he could grow into a versatile infield option; if not, he likely settles as a solid minor league piece.
