Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Bonilla signed for $600,000 in 2019 and showed good pull-side power with occasional opposite-field pop during a 20-game stint in the Dominican Summer League. He stayed in shape by playing sandlot ball in the Dominican Republic during the coronavirus shutdown and was a full participant in instructional league in the fall.

SCOUTING REPORT: Bonilla has a clean bat path that allows him to barrel baseballs consistently and produce high-end exit velocities, and he has a natural launch angle that helps him hit the ball into the air. As he grows and adds muscle, he has a chance to hit for average power. The stout-framed Bonilla is not as athletic as many of the organization's top middle-infield prospects, but he's a smooth, polished defender with a plus-plus arm that allows him to make throws from deep in the hole. The Angels love Bonilla's work ethic and baseball IQ.

THE FUTURE: Though he handles shortstop well, Bonilla's body type might necessitate a move to third base. He will likely start 2021 in the Rookie-level Arizona League.
TRACK RECORD: Bonilla signed with the Angels for $600,000 on July 2 and immediately went out and hit in the Dominican Summer League. He batted .284 with an .808 OPS in 20 games, showing good pull-side power with occasional opposite-field pop.

SCOUTING REPORT: Bonilla has a clean bat path that allows him to barrel baseballs consistently and produce high-end exit velocities. He should add muscle as he grows, and with a natural launch angle that helps him hit the ball into the air, he has the chance to hit for average power. Bonilla has a stout frame and is not quite as athletic as some of the organization's other Latin American infielders, but he's a polished, smooth fielder with a plus-plus arm that allows him make throws from deep in the hole at shortstop. He is a fringe-average runner who is likely to slow down as he ages.

THE FUTURE: The Angels plan to groom Bonilla as both a shortstop and third baseman, with third base seen as his most likely long-term position. He is slated to make the jump to the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2020.
