Byron Chourio

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Minnesota Twins #30 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade: 45/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Chourio was a part of the Marlins' most recent international signing class and was lauded as an amateur for his remaining physical projection and balanced set of swings from both sides of the plate. He signed in June, then put together an excellent debut in the Dominican Summer League, where his .344 average, 63 hits and 47 runs each placed among the circuit's top 10.
  
  Scouting Report: Chourio has a long way to go but showed some intriguing signs for a player his age. First, his swing decisions were sound and finished with nearly as many walks (25) as strikeouts (27) while producing an in-zone miss rate of just 12%. Chourio didn't hit the ball particularly hard, but the Marlins expect that to improve as he gains strength. They are also heartened by the natural loft in his swing as well as his strong, quick hands. Chourio's above-average speed and above-average arm should help him stick in center field as he moves up the ladder, which would be a great help to his profile and put less pressure on his ability to develop power.
  
  The Future: Chourio should come to the U.S. in 2023, when he'll continue to work toward adding strength and power to his game in an effort to enhance his overall profile and give himself a spot in the big leagues.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 45 Power: 40 Speed: 55 Field: 50 Arm: 55.
