Scouting Reports

BA Grade: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Encarnacion&#39s offensive upside stood out as an amateur in the Dominican Republic. While the Red Sox gave Dominican shortstop Fraymi de Leon slightly more money ($1.2 million), Encarnacion—signed for $1.1 million on Jan. 15, 2022—is their most exciting player from that international class.

Scouting Report: Encarnacion&#39s swing, approach and power all stand out for a 17-year-old. He has plus raw power, and while a lot of strongly-built players his age who can crush the ball in batting practice don&#39t necessarily translate that juice against live pitching, Encarnacion has shown the ability to tap into that power in games. He has a sound swing and a mature, all-fields approach, with the ability drive the ball out of the park to right-center field or pull his hands inside the ball to drive the ball with impact to left field. A fringe-average runner, Encarnacion is at shortstop now but his range will probably slide him over to third base, where he has the hands and strong arm to play.

The Future: Encarnacion has the upside to be an impact hitter, with the combination of hitting ability and power that point toward what should be a strong pro debut this year in the Dominican Summer League.
