Leandro Arias

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Baltimore Orioles #19 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Arias signed for $600,000 as one of the Orioles’ top additions in the 2022 international class, one of the first handful the organization had with bonuses that large, and has steadily improved since. He was one of the youngest players in the Carolina League for his full-season debut in 2024 for Low-A Delmarva, and finished the year with a month at High-A Aberdeen.
  
  Scouting Report: While Arias’ offensive results haven’t been overwhelming, he has a sound offensive profile with some projection to it, with the floor at the plate reinforced by his understanding of the strike zone and ability to get on base. Those traits, combined with good contact ability and solid top-end exit velocities, can make for an average hitter with below-average power going forward, with physical gains and some more consistent plane on his swing creating further upside. Defensively, Arias can play a good shortstop and would fare well at second base if he needed to move, with average arm strength. Those up-the-middle skills help reinforce the floor for Arias as he continues to gain experience at the plate and works to more consistently impact the ball in games.
  
  The Future: Even without any standout tools, Arias’ athletic, up-the-middle profile is the kind that everyday big leaguers are made of, provided his bat catches up to the rest. He’ll start at High-A Aberdeen in 2025.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 50 | Field: 50 | Arm: 50.

• April, 2022 Scouting Report
  An athletic shortstop with plus speed, Arias has the attributes that give him a good chance to stick at the position, with a quick first step, easy actions and a solid-average arm. At the plate, Arias has a hit-over-power profile now with doubles power, but he has good leverage in his swing and the strength projection in his lean, lanky build to develop more power as he fills out.
