Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Atlanta Braves #25 prospect in 2026
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Adjusted Grade: 30
  
  Track Record: Mañon signed with the Braves in 2026 for a $1.5 million bonus, making him the most expensive player in the team’s 2026 international class. He played for the Dominican Republic’s U-18 team in the Pan American Qualifier in Panama in 2024, giving him a bit more visibility than many international prospects ahead of signing.
  
  Scouting Report: At 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, Mañon is still growing into his lean frame and moves around the field with ease. He’s a plus runner with a plus arm and has the tools and easy defensive actions to stick at shortstop at higher levels. Mañon has the hand-eye coordination to square up pitches throughout the strike zone. The bat speed is there for him to make quality contact, mostly for line drives and doubles now, though with more power he could unlock as he gets stronger and adds more loft to his swing.
  
  The Future: Mañon is years away from the majors and will need to prove his offensive chops in the Dominican Summer League before making his stateside debut. He’s one of a number of shortstop additions the Braves have made to the system between the 2025 draft class and 2026 international signing class.
