Scouting Reports
-
Pacheco was the headliner of Oakland's international signings. The Venezuelan center fielder isn't that big, but he's an explosive, quick-twitch athlete with advanced game skills for his age. He's a selective hitter who has a short, quick swing with good bat speed. That translates to a high contact rate to fire line drives all around the field with gap power now and potential to grow into 20-plus home runs, though his offensive game will likely be centered more around his on-base skills. Pacheco is also at least a plus runner who projects to stick in center field, where he moves around well and has a solid-average arm. Pacheco doesn't have the physicality of Pedro Pineda, Oakland's big center field signing from Latin America the year before, but he offers an exciting foundation for a premium position player with a chance to hit toward the top of a lineup. -

Scouting Report: Pacheco isn't that big, but he's an explosive, quick-twitch athlete with advanced game skills for his age. He's a selective hitter who has a short, quick swing with good bat speed.

The Future: Pacheco doesn't have the physicality of Pedro Pineda, Oakland's big center field signing from Latin America the year before, but he offers an exciting foundation for a premium position player with a chance to hit toward the top of a lineup. His next step should come in the Dominican Summer League in 2022.
