Lorenzo Cedrola Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

The Red Sox named Cedrola their Latin American program player of the year in 2015 after he hit .321/.420/.415 in the Dominican Summer League. He followed that performance with another strong showing in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League in 2016, when he hit .290 and led the GCL with 62 hits and 14 doubles while ranking fourth with 33 runs scored. Though an excellent athlete and plus runner, Cedrola is physically limited. His barrel control allows him to make contact at a high rate (he struck out just 12 percent of the time in 2016), while giving him just enough gap power to sometimes undermine a more sound approach predicated on shooting line drives to all fields. Still, between his contact skills, plus range in center field and average arm, he has a clear path to being at least a reserve outfielder--and possibly a quality fourth outfielder. In games, Cedrola has been a catalyst and a gamer, with two-way impact that has captured the notice of opponents as well as his own organization.

While Cedrola wasn't Boston's prized international signing heading into the 2015 season--that title belonged to Yoan Moncada--he could end up being a bargain at his bonus amount, which was $35,000. While Cedrola showcased as a shortstop, the Red Sox liked him better in center field, where he already shines. He's a twitchy athlete with plus-plus speed underway and gets great reads off the bat. He is a plus defender who tracks the ball, has good range and a slightly above-average arm. Cedrola had some of the best contact skills in the GCL. He squared up the ball with high frequency and used the whole field. He's an aggressive hitter with mostly doubles power (his 14 doubles led the league) but could grow into double-digit homers, with some scouts giving him a chance to hit 10-15.
