Luis Almeyda

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Baltimore Orioles #21 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Almeyda grew up in New Jersey, where before he even entered high school, he was getting recruiting offers from some of the top programs in college baseball. Instead of staying in the United States for the 2025 high school class, Almeyda moved to the Dominican Republic and immediately drew attention. Now he will be eligible to sign as an international free agent when the signing period opens on Jan. 15, 2023, with a bonus expected to surpass $2 million.
  
  Scouting Report: Almeyda typically puts together quality at-bats with a good approach and impressive power for his age that has started to jump as he's filling out his long, rangy build. He's smooth and under control at shortstop, where his feet work well and he has soft hands to go with a strong arm. Almeyda has the ball skills for shortstop, though depending on his physical development, there is a chance he could slide to third base, but he should develop the power to play at either spot.
  
  The Future: Almeyda will make his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 55. Speed: 50. Field: 55. Arm: 55.
