Alvin Guzman

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Arizona Diamondbacks #25 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: The D-backs gave Guzman $1.8 million, making him their top international signing in 2018, doing so on the strength of his athleticism, tools and feel to hit. Thus far, it hasn’t come together for him in games on a consistent basis, but he did enjoy a stretch of production in the Arizona Complex League that gave a glimpse of what he is capable of doing.
  
  Scouting Report: When Guzman is locked in at the plate, he can look like he has about as much ceiling as any player in the system. For those who believe in his potential, he is at least a four-tool player—maybe five if you expect the power to come along. He should stick in center field and has a strong and accurate arm. He has speed that can impact the game. Guzman can be inconsistent at the plate, getting too aggressive and giving away at-bats, and evaluators say he needs to shorten up his swing and make it more repeatable in addition to improving his approach.
  
  The Future: Guzman has a lot he needs to clean up, but this would be a good time to do it since he is going into a protection year. He figures to get a shot at full-season ball in 2022.
