Velazquez is one of the youngest players in the 2025 class—he will still be 17 on draft day—and generates easy bat speed from the left side. It’s a calm, loose swing with low effort, and while his offensive performance has been up and down, he’s flashing home run power to his pull side now and has the physical projection to grow into a power-hitting infielder. He’s a below-average runner who has good actions at shortstop, particularly to his backhand, and has a quick exchange on the double play pivot.
