Gregory Lorenzo

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Baltimore Orioles #29 prospect in 2013
  A small, athletic outfielder from the Dominican Republic, Lorenzo stands out for his ability to run and throw. He has top-of-the-scale speed, getting down the first-base line in less than 4.0 seconds from the right side, and he stole 16 bases in 53 games last year. His quickness helps him cover ground in center field, and his arm grades out as plus. The rest of Lorenzo's game is still in progress. He has some bat speed, slaps at the ball to put it in play and is willing to bunt to get on base. He's still learning the strike zone, and like many young hitters has difficulty recognizing breaking pitches. His approach won't yield much power, and he doesn't get caught up trying to drive the ball. Lorenzo will need a lot of time to develop but will get his first extended shot at full-season ball in 2013.
