Bryan Acuna

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Minnesota Twins #22 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Any diligent observer can tell Bryan Acuna was the younger brother of Ronald Acuna, even if he didn't wear his name on his jersey, because he has a very similar swing clearly modeled after his brother. He has impressed with his hard-nosed approach and advanced understanding of the game.
  
  Scouting Report: When he started making the rounds of the amateur showcase circuit, Acuna's short stature was a concern. But he's kept growing. He was 5-foot-11 when he signed and he's now 6-foot-1. Acuna is a middle infielder who can play shortstop, but may end up more effective as a plus defender at second base. He has good hands, a steady heartbeat and a quick transfer with a plus arm, although his range is a little limited. He's a fringe-average runner. Offensively, he makes good swing decisions and has above-average bat-to-ball skills. His power is quite modest for now, but likely will develop into below-average power or better as he matures.
  
  The Future: Acuna's development so far has been encouraging. He's one of a number of very interesting young international prospects who could quickly climb the ladder in the next couple of years.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 55. Power: 40 Field: 50. Run: 45. Arm. 60.
