Scouting Reports

Juan looked set to sign with the Angels, but after that organization shuffled front office personnel, Juan instead signed with the Mets for $1.9 million. Juan projects to be a physical center fielder who sticks out for his tools. He has impressive bat speed for his age, driving the ball with impact during batting practice with the potential for plus raw power once he's physically mature. He also has plus speed, giving him a chance to be a power/speed threat in center field. The risk with Juan comes in his ability to translate those tools in games, as it's not the cleanest swing and he tends to expand the zone, leading to swing-and-miss tendencies. Juan has at least a plus arm that could still tick up, with the athleticism to handle center field for now, though there's a chance he outgrows the position and heads to right field.
BA Grade: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Like fellow Dominican outfielder Willy Fanas, Juan looked set to sign with the Angels, but after that organization shuffled front office personnel, Juan instead signed with the Mets on Jan. 15, 2022 for $1.9 million.

Scouting Report: Juan projects to be a physical center fielder who sticks out for his tools. He has impressive bat speed for his age, driving the ball with impact during batting practice and the potential for plus raw power once he&#39s physically mature. He also has plus speed, giving him a chance to be a power/speed threat in center field. The risk with Juan comes in his ability to translate those tools in games, as it&#39s not the cleanest swing and he tends to expand the zone, leading to swing-and-miss tendencies. Juan has at least a plus arm that could still tick up, with the athleticism to handle center field for now, though there&#39s some chance he outgrows the position and heads to right field.

The Future: If Juan can iron things out at the plate, his tools give him a chance to develop into an exciting player. There&#39s still a long ways to go to get there, though, with the Dominican Summer League his first stop.
