Joswa Lugo

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Angels #8 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: The younger brother of infielder Dawel Lugo, who played three years for the Tigers from 2018-2020, Joswa Lugo signed for $2.3 million, one of the largest bonuses the Angels have ever handed out for an international amateur.
  
  Scouting Report: Lugo has above-average power potential with the ability to turn on a quality fastball. Like many young hitters he isn’t as comfortable when a pitcher keeps feeding him sliders, but Lugo has some feel for hitting. Lugo’s above-average arm should potentially help him stay at third base, but he may eventually outgrow the position. His power may be enough to handle a move to a corner outfield spot as well.
  
  The Future: Lugo immediately becomes one of the more prominent hitting prospects in a somewhat thin Angels’ system, and the bellwether of the most recent Angels’ international signing class.
