Luis Arestigueta

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Atlanta Braves #28 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme.
  
  Track Record: Arestigueta signed out of Venezuela for $240,000 in the Braves’ 2023 international signing class as a lanky, projectable righthander. He posted a 3.48 ERA in 33.2 innings in the Dominican Summer League in 2023, then came stateside in 2024 and pitched at the complex and in Low-A, posting a 4.62 ERA in 60.1 innings with a 21.5% strikeout rate and 10.9% walk rate.
  
  Scouting Report: Arestigueta has a lean, 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame that has plenty of room to add strength. He throws from a crossfire delivery with a long and loose arm action and low three-quarters slot. Arestigueta works with a three-pitch mix that starts with a fastball that sits 90-92 mph, though he was scraping 94-95 in his final few outings with Low-A Rome. He should grow into mid-90s velocity and have an average fastball, but his secondaries are more promising. Arestigueta’s 80-84 mph slider has hard, late bite and generated a 20.4% swinging strike rate as his go-to secondary in 2024. He’s also flashed a mid-80s changeup with solid fade that could become a quality split-change in the future. Arestiguata will cut himself off in his delivery at times, which impacts his fringy, but improvable control.
  
  The Future: Arestigueta’s three-pitch mix and physical projection could allow him to grow into a backend starter role—though he needs plenty of time to get there.
  
  Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 45.
