Eduarqui Fernandez

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #30 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: The Brewers paid $1.1 million to sign Fernandez in 2018. At the time, he showed a chance to be a power-speed threat, albeit with a lot of risk in his hitting, which showed up in his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League. His 11 home runs were tied for the most in the DSL.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Fernandez's tools are loud but his bat is raw. He's an athletic player with a wellproportioned build and plus raw power. He can hit balls out to straightaway center field and was able to tap into that power in games. He lacks natural feel for hitting, with a 33 percent strikeout rate that's a significant red flag in the DSL. Fernandez has power and speed as a plus runner with a good gait who could be a stolen base threat and projects to stay in center field. He's still improving his reads and routes in the outfield, but he has the speed and strong arm that should play in the middle of the field.
  
  THE FUTURE: Fernandez's tools and athleticism are exciting, but he needs to make a lot of adjustments at the plate to make it work at higher levels. The Rookie-level Arizona League is up next in 2020.
• 
  Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #22 prospect in 2019
  Track Record: The Brewers have tried to stockpile as many young, middle-of-the-field players they can find, thinking that is the true currency of baseball. So it was not surprising when they went after Fernandez in the 2018-19 international period, signing him for $1.1 million.
  
  Scouting Report: Though obviously still quite young, Fernandez profiles as a center fielder with good offensive and defensive tools and a makeup that scouts noticed. Fernandez is aggressive at the plate, driving the ball to all fields with a good bat path that projects to have power as he matures physically. If he fills out to the point of no longer fitting in center, he could slide to a corner outfield spot with enough projected power to play there. Speed is a big part of Fernandez's game--he was clocked consistently at 6.4 seconds in the 60-yard-dash, which is elite speed--and he also has an above-average arm. Fernandez shows an advanced knowledge of the proper routes to take in the outfield and generally shows good instincts for his age in all areas of the game.
  
  The Future: Fernandez will make his pro debut in 2019. He may be advanced enough to jump to the Rookie-level Arizona League before the year is out.
