BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme
Track Record: The Angels signed De Jesus for $1.2 million out of the Dominican Republic during the 2022 international signing period, pairing him with fellow outfielder Nelson Rada as the headliners of their international class. De Jesus made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League and stood out as one of the league's most alluring prospects with his lean, strong build. He won MVP of the DSL All-Star Game and hit seven home runs before missing the end of the year with a minor hamstring tweak.
Scouting Report: De Jesus is a big-bodied, righthanded hitter with immense power potential. He consistently makes hard contact and drives the ball with authority with good extension in his swing. He is working to get his hands in a better position to hit and find better timing as he adjusts to his growing body, but he already has above-average power potential and could grow into more. De Jesus is an aggressive hitter who will swing and miss and doesn't project to ever hit for a high average, but he should improve enough with experience to be a below-average hitter. De Jesus has slimmed down since he's signed and is now an average runner with explosive strides. He is an average defender with enough arm strength and athleticism to profile in a corner outfield spot.
The Future: De Jesus still has room to add strength to his large frame and has a chance to grow into a low-average slugger. He'll make his stateside debut in the Arizona Complex League in 2023.
Scouting Grades Hit: 40. Power: 55. Speed: 50. Fielding: 50. Arm: 50.

Early on during the scouting process in the Dominican Republic, De Jesus stood out for his power potential as a 6-foot-3 righthanded hitter. He bolstered his stock as he got himself into better shape, leading to a $1.2 million deal with the Angels. De Jesus improved his conditioning while retaining his ability to drive the ball for damage when he made contact. He has a chance to develop above-average power, already hammering the ball with impact relative to his peers. De Jesus doesn't have the same pure contact skills as Rada, but scouts highest on him believed in his ability to translate that power against live pitching. What De Jesus does in the batter's box will drive his value, as he's a corner outfielder with below-average speed. -
