Fabian Pertuz

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago Cubs #23 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: With fellow middle infielders Reivaj Garcia and Luis Verdugo in the Rookie-level Arizona League, Pertuz stayed back and made his debut in 2018 in the Dominican Summer League. He showed hitting and on-base skills and tied for sixth in the league with 36 stolen bases.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: In the AZL, Pertuz's game changed a bit. He became more aggressive at the plate and started trying to tap into his raw power more often. The result was a dip in on-base percentage and a slight uptick in slugging percentage from his 2018 debut. He's got a simple, low-maintenance swing, impressive bat speed, strong hands to generate power and has shown the ability to turn on high-quality fastballs and do damage. Pertuz has average range and an above-average arm that could help him stick at shortstop, but the Cubs believe his offensive ability will allow him to move to either second or third base while still profiling at shortstop. He's a fringe-average runner.
  
  THE FUTURE: After a strong turn in the AZL, Pertuz should be ready to move to low Class A South Bend. He has the skills to profile as an offensive, middle-diamond player.
