Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Osorio was the Tigers' top target in the 2022 international class. Just five months later he made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League, but the speed of the game seemed a little much for Osorio. He hit .175/.281/.227 with just six extra-base hits, 12 RBIs and a 38% strikeout rate in 46 games. On back-to-back days Osorio went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts.

Scouting Report: As rough as his debut may have been, Osorio has an interesting blend of natural athleticism and abundant projection remaining in his lanky teenage frame. He just needs to get a lot stronger, which will help his bat speed and power continue to improve. He has a very whippy bat already, but should fill out. When he was an amateur, some scouts projected him to eventually have 20-home run potential. He has a shot to stay at shortstop with quick hands, solid athleticism and a plus arm. He's an above-average runner.

The Future: Osorio won't turn 18 until the end of 2023's spring training. His struggles in 2022 show he may benefit from a return to the Dominican Summer League to start 2023, although a strong first half could earn him a stateside debut later in the season.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 50. Speed: 55. Fielding: 50. Arm: 60.

Track Record:: The Tigers snapped up one of the top shortstops in Latin America on Jan. 15, 2021 when they signed Cristian Santana, who got off to a terrific start in the Dominican Summer League and is one of their most exciting prospects at the lower levels. One year later, they added Osorio, one of the top Venezuelan shortstops in the 2021-22 international class.

Scouting Report: Osorio has strong hands and quick wrists to snap the barrel through the zone with whippy bat speed. He has hit well in games with mostly gap power now, but he has the bat speed and physical projection remaining to develop into a 20-plus home run threat. An above-average runner, Osorio has the athleticism, hands, footwork and plus arm to handle shortstop. If he does outgrow the position, he has the attributes and offensive profile to project anywhere else on the infield, but the upside is there for him to be a shortstop with offensive impact.

The Future: Osorio should follow in Santana&#39 s footsteps as a starting shortstop for the Tigers in the Dominican Summer League for his pro debut in 2022.
