Johan Barrios Stats & Scouting Report

Scouting Reports

BA Grade: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Barrios was one of the top shortstops in the 2021-22 international signing class out of Venezuela, a country the Brewers have been aggressive in over the last few years. Barrios (no relation to fellow Brewers Venezuelan shortstop Gregory Barrios) joined the Brewers once the signing period opened on Jan. 15, 2022.

Scouting Report: Once a long, lean shortstop, Barrios has started to fill out and is developing impressive power for 17. Barrios&#39 easy power stands out, but it&#39 s more than just batting practice shows, as he generally performed well in games as an amateur player, with a chance to grow into plus raw power. Barrios has also improved his speed, running plus underway, though as he matures physically, that might back up. His plus arm fits at shortstop, and while he has a chance to stick there, he might outgrow the position and end up at third base.

The Future: Compared to Gregory Barrios and Daniel Guilarte, Milwaukee&#39 s two big shortstops from Venezuela in the previous class, Barrios has more power, though the other two have a higher probability to stick at shortstop. His first official games will likely come in the Dominican Summer League.
