Enmanuel Tejeda

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked New York Yankees #28 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 45/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Tejeda signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2022, then put forth a strong debut that summer that saw him rack up more walks (41) than strikeouts (22). He repeated the performance after moving stateside, where his .465 on-base percentage ranked second in the Florida Complex League and his 24 stolen bases were second only to teammate Keiner Delgado.
  
  Scouting Report: Tejeda is a smaller player who makes plenty of contact but lacks impact at this point. His average and 90th percentile exit velocities were well below-average, but his offensive skills were buoyed by outstanding rates of miss and chase and excellent swing decisions. Tejeda was a shortstop as an amateur but split his 2023 season between second and third base in deference to a host of other middle infielders, like Roderick Arias and Keiner Delgado and George Lombard Jr. Second base is his best position, and he’ll likely be average there thanks to strong instincts and speed that grades as at least plus. He has average arm strength but needs to improve his accuracy.
  
  The Future: Tejeda will move to Low-A Tampa in 2024, where he’ll again be clustered with Lombard, Arias and Delgado on the infield. He could be a utility infielder with skills on both sides of the ball.
