View Draft Report

Scouts had little history with Arbet before last summer, when he performed well in the Area Code Games. He continued to make strong impressions at the Jesse Flores All-Star game in November and the Southern California Invitational in February, propelling him into the third- to fifth-round range. Arbet's outstanding athleticism is an asset at shortstop, where he has good range, instincts and actions as well as a good arm, giving him a chance to stay at the position. His bat is more of a question mark, because his swing can get long and he's prone to chasing pitches out of the zone. He has made strides as a hitter the more he has played, and he has a chance to be an average hitter with fringy power as he matures. He's also a solid-average runner. Arbet plays with energy, and his excellent makeup leads scouts to believe he will continue to improve.
