Keiner Delgado Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

BA Grade: 50/Extreme

Track Record: Delgado was signed out of Venezuela in 2021 and opened his career with a standout season in the Dominican Summer League. He finished the year with more walks (58) than strikeouts (28). His walks and OBP (.504) were the second-best on the circuit. He moved stateside in 2023 and fit right in on a spectacularly talented Florida Complex League team. His hits (58) and total bases (96) were second in the league.

Scouting Report: Scouts universally tabbed Delgado with two words: Baseball player. The infielder rarely misses or chases and has a knack for manipulating the barrel, but there wasn’t a whole lot of impact paired with his contact. The Yankees worked hard to add some strength to his frame through plenty of time in the weight room, but his average and 90th percentile exit velocities were still well below-average. He bounced between both middle-infield spots and scouts believe he fits best at second base because of an average arm and just fair range. He has soft hands and strong instincts that pair well with speed that can get to plus underway. Scouts ooze about Delgado’s instinct and makeup.

The Future: Delgado gets the most out of his tools and will have no problem reaching his ceiling as a quality backup who earns ample playing time.
