Track Record: Tejada was one of the sleepers of San Francisco’s 2024 international class, which also included standout shortstop Jhonny Level. Tejada landed a bonus of $147,500 and made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League. He put together a strong opening volley, producing an .893 OPS with five home runs.
Scouting Report: The righthanded-hitting Tejada is short and stocky with a powerful swing geared to produce electric power. He finished his first year with a 90th percentile exit velocity of 101 mph and max EVs near 108 mph. He’s an aggressive hitter who can damage fastballs and did a good job controlling the zone in the DSL. He produced an overall miss rate of just 21.6%, and the figure in the zone was an outstanding 12.6%. Not surprisingly for someone his age, Tejada was weaker against breaking balls. He missed those types of pitches at a 38% clip, including 20% when they were located in the zone. Tejada is young and will get plenty of chances to stick in center field, but if he gets stronger he might move over to left field thanks to fringe-average arm strength. He’s a fringe-average runner who gets out of the box quickly and looks to steal bases. He swiped 13 bags in 2024 but was caught nine times.
The Future: Tejada will move stateside to the Arizona Complex League in 2025. If everything clicks, he has a chance to be a powerful corner outfielder capable of 20 or more home runs annually. To do so, he’ll have to tighten his plate discipline.
