Jose Pastrano

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Cleveland Guardians #27 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: The Indians continued to be aggressive on the international market in 2019 and Pastrano, a Venezuelan native, was the club's biggest signing. His older brother, also named Jose Pastrano, plays in the Athletics' organization, but the younger Pastrano is viewed as the superior prospect.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Pastrano stands out for his athleticism and understanding of the game. A switchhitter, he has a short, direct swing and a good feel for the strike zone. He uses the whole field to hit and enough physical projection to see his doubles power increase in time, but he's likely to be hit-over-power in the long run. Pastrano has the defensive skills to stay at shortstop. He's a plus runner with quick hands, good infield actions and above-average arm strength.
  
  THE FUTURE: Pastrano joins the burgeoning group of talented middle infielders at the lower levels of the Indians system. He'll make his debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2020.
