View Draft Report
Rivera was one of the few Puerto Rican players who stood out to scouts at this spring's Excellence Tournament, showcasing an impressive bat which projects for above-average power down the line. A lefthanded hitting outfielder who has shown a good ability to hit, with a whippy, uppercut bat path. Rivera profiles as a corner outfielder with some present strength, but room in his 6-foot, 180-pound frame to add more. In the outfield, he's an average runner who has a fringe-average arm with a big crow hop and a high effort release on throws. He's also shown some instincts on the base paths.
