The unheralded Segovia made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2014. Playing the entire season at age 17, he led that circuit with a .384 average and was third with a .457 on-base percentage. Segovia showed a good eye at the plate and rarely struck out, though he did not flash much power. He has good knowledge of the strike zone and advanced plate coverage for a player of his age. A large majority of Segovia's hits were singles, but he showed an ability to spray the ball to all fields and occasionally to the gaps. He might not develop power but doesn't need to do so to be an offensive contributor. With above-average speed, he plays center field with ease, showing great range and good instincts. He has good work habits and excellent hand-eye coordination, hitting the ball where it is pitched. Segovia shows good poise for a teenager. The Brewers see him as a quality defender in center and leadoff hitter who puts the ball in play without chasing pitches. Look for him in the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2015.
