Track Record: Estrada was a Dominican Summer League all-star in 2022 after signing for just $150,000, and while he had to earn his way onto the Low-A Delmarva roster out of camp in 2024, he ended up being the first hitter promoted from that roster with a .795 OPS in 91 games. He then held his own the last month of 2024 at High-A Aberdeen.
Scouting Report: Estrada lacks any standout skills at this point but also doesn’t have any glaring holes. He makes good contact, though he’s a bit of a free-swinger who expands the zone too frequently. He has deceptive lower body strength and is strong for his 5-foot-8 stature, leading to the potential for fringe-average game power down the line. He may end up an average second baseman and a tick worse than that at shortstop, while also being athletic enough for all three outfield positions if need be. His average arm won’t hinder him anywhere. Overall, Estrada’s feel for the game and athleticism help elevate what ultimately projects to be average tools.
The Future: Estrada’s up-the-middle profile and offensive floor give him an everyday regular ceiling, though his is an attractive floor as a switch-hitter who can play shortstop when it comes to utility use. He’ll likely be back at High-A Aberdeen to start 2025.
