Angel Arevalo

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Oakland Athletics #29 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: Arevalo was the A’s most impactful Venezuelan signee in their 2020 international class. He initially signed as a long-term physical projection candidate and has incrementally added strength. He made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2021 and hit a promising .297/.438/.473 with nearly as many walks (18) as strikeouts (19).
  
  Scouting Report: The A’s were encouraged by Arevalo’s diligent work during the 2020 coronavirus shutdown, and his strength gains showed this summer. Arevalo begins his swing with a wide stance at the plate and employs a modest leg kick and occasional toe tap as a timing mechanism. His swing isn’t necessarily geared for in-game power right now, but he has average power potential because of his strength. Initially signed as an outfielder, Arevalo played mostly shortstop in his debut. He is an above-average runner and thrower, and the A’s hope he can stay up the middle at either position.
  
  The Future: Arevalo is promising but a long way away. He should make his U.S. debut in the Arizona Complex League in 2022.
