Drafted in the 36th round (1,086th overall) by the Los Angeles Angels in 2016.
Top Rankings
Organization Prospect Rankings
Track Record: The Angels drafted three players in 2016-17 from NAIA Vanguard, located 20 minutes south of Angel Stadium. Rojas, a 36th-round pick in 2016 and an Anaheim native, has been the best of them. Rojas was a California League All-Star in his first full season as a pro, then in 2018 hit .304 at Double-A and ascended to Triple-A.
Scouting Report: Rojas takes an advanced approach that produces some of the highest quality at-bats in the Angels system on a consistent basis. He has the ability to keep his barrel through the zone for line-drive contact or drop the head on pitches low and inside for long home runs to right. Rojas' best position is third base, but he has enough athleticism to stand in at second base as needed.
The Future: Rojas doesn't have anything that will make him a starter in the big leagues, but as a lefthanded hitter who has multi-positional versatility, he may be able to carve out a reserve role
