2021 Oakland Athletics Instructional League Roster
Oakland’s instructional league roster is led by one of its youngest and fastest-rising prospects, 18-year-old outfielder Pedro Pineda, who ranked No. 5 on this year’s list of the Arizona Complex League’s Top 10 prospects. In the ACL, Pineda showcased a mature approach, plus raw power and plenty of bat speed.
The A’s group also has lots of heat from this year’s draft, including first-rounder Max Muncy and second-rounder Zack Gelof. In all, 17 members of Oakland’s 2021 draft class will get experience at instructional league. Stevie Emanuels and Jeff Criswell, both a part of the team’s 2020 class, are in the mix as well.
The group also boasts some of its most recent international signings. Beyond Pineda, fans can also get looks at righthander Moises Hernandez, a projectable, 6-foot-3 righthander who has already run his fastball into the mid 90s. Big-time bonus baby Robert Puason, who signed in 2019 but had his debut wiped out by the pandemic, will also be there. He spent his debut season as one of the youngest players in the Low-A West.
