TRACK RECORD: Arias signed with the Nationals during the 2017 international signing period and immediately stood out for his big power potential from the left side. He had a strong pro debut in the Dominican Summer League before struggling in his stateside debut in 2019, especially facing lefthanded pitchers. The Nationals brought him to instructional league in 2020.
SCOUTING REPORT: Arias has a slender build but immense power. He has grown more explosive in his legs as he's matured and is working on getting into a stronger hitting position that will give him more leverage. Arias is willing to work counts, but he still swings and misses too much. It may be a prolonged process for the Nationals to try to get the most out of his powerful swing. Arias isn't known for his speed, but he moves well enough to be an average corner outfielder defensively. He also has the ability to play first base.
THE FUTURE: Arias' main focus is on getting physically stronger. That, combined with some swing development, could make him a breakout power threat.
