Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Signed for just $35,000 in April 2019, Bailey was considered somewhat of a sleeper prospect among that year's international class. He produced in the Dominican Summer League and then impressed during Dominican instructional league as well.

SCOUTING REPORT: In Bailey, the White Sox see a player with a blend of potentially above-average power and speed. Evaluators saw a rusty player at the team's instructional league, where he showed big-time power during batting practice but struggled with pitch recognition during games and tended to step in the bucket on swings. Scouts there also saw a player who'd slowed down quite a bit and will have to play in a corner outfield spot.

THE FUTURE: After a long layoff, Bailey will look to get back into the swing of things in 2021, when he's likely to spend most of the year in the Rookie-level Arizona League but could reach low Class A.
TRACK RECORD: The White Sox came away with one of the more promising sleepers of the 2018-19 international class in Bailey, a Panamanian outfielder they gave $35,000 in April. Bailey went to the Dominican Summer League and immediately raked as a 17-year-old, hitting .324/.477/.454 with more walks (52) than strikeouts (40) in 55 games.

SCOUTING REPORT: Bailey, who turned 18 in September, is a physical 6-foot-5, 225 pounds and a power/ speed threat, with both tools grading out above-average. Bailey has a short swing for a bigger guy and is a patient hitter with a good eye for the strike zone, which helped him hit immediately when he got to the DSL and faced better pitching than he was used to seeing in Panama. He's a corner outfielder who moves well for his size, though he might slow down as he gets older.

THE FUTURE: After a standout season in the DSL, Bailey should get his first stateside test in 2020 when he moves up to the Rookie-level AZL. He has a ceiling as an everyday corner outfielder with impact power.
