Brailer Guerrero

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Tampa Bay Rays #22 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: The Rays placed a big bet on Guerrero’s big power, signing him in January 2023 for a $3.7 million bonus that ranked as the fifth-highest in a relatively loaded international amateur class. There’s no need to really project Guerrero’s power. He’s already 6-foot-1, 215 pounds and hits the ball as hard as many big leaguers.
  
  Scouting Report: Guerrero’s 2023 debut in the Dominican Summer League was cut short by a shoulder injury that required surgery, but not before he showed exactly what the Rays were expecting. He hits the ball exceptionally hard for a teenager, with 110 mph or faster exit velocities at his best already. What makes Guerrero an especially interesting prospect is he shows signs that he’s already able to combine quality swing decisions with that power to punish any pitcher who makes a mistake. Guerrero’s an average runner now with a plus arm that would fit in right field, but he could keep getting bigger and stronger, which likely means he would get slower as well. If so, his power and patience would fit at first base.
  
  The Future: Guerrero should be fully healthy and ready to go for spring training. He’s more polished than many young international signees, but after playing just seven games in the DSL, an assignment to the Florida Complex League would be a possible but aggressive assignment.

• 
  Ranked Tampa Bay Rays #28 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Guerrero was one of the top position players available in the 2023 international amateur class, as the lefthanded hitter landed a $3.7 million bonus from the Rays. Unlike many 16-year-olds, Guerrero has present physicality with a well-built, 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame.
  
  Scouting Report: Guerrero's game is built around power and offensive impact. Without selling out for power, he generates future plus raw power, with some scouts seeing plus-plus raw power in his future. His batting eye and timing should allow him to get to that power, as he has a relatively mature approach in the box. Guerrero's defense and athleticism are limited. He's already a below-average runner who is limited to the outfield corners, and may eventually end up at first base.
  
  The Future: If Guerrero hits like the Rays' expect, his limited defensive role will not be a big deal at all. He'll head to the Dominican Summer League this summer to make his pro debut.
  
  Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 60. Field: 45. Run: 40. Arm: 45.
