BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
Track Record: The Blue Jays acquired Pinto in the trade that sent Randal Grichuk to the Rockies on the eve of the 2022 season. Pinto was assigned to Low-A Dunedin where he hit .242/.375/.363 over 47 games before going down with a left hamstring strain that cost him the final three months of 2022. At just 20 years old for the entire 2023 campaign, Pinto should return to Dunedin to begin his season.
Scouting Report: The Blue Jays target above-average contact hitters with advanced approaches in all possible marketplaces, and Pinto is a trade acquisition that fits this archetype. Pinto makes contact at a high rate with a simple setup, as he crowds the plate in order to cover the whole plate despite shorter levers. He has well below-average power at present and impact doesn't project to be a major part of his game. Still, Pinto has natural loft to his swing and bat speed that portends at least modest gains to his in-game power in the coming years. Pinto is an above-average runner and shows solid jumps as a base stealer. He's rangy in the infield, and can handle shortstop and second base and has also spent time in center field in each of his two professional seasons. He's likely limited to second base and the outfield long term due to his fringe-average arm.
The Future: Due to injury we didn't get a glimpse of what a full season of Pinto looks like. He is a talented player who can impact the game on both sides of the ball, with solid contact and approach as a hitter and defensive versatility in the field.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 55. Power: 30. Run: 55. Field: 55. Arm: 45. -
Track Record: At 5-foot-6, Pinto is typically the smallest player on the field. That didn’t deter the Rockies, who signed him for $120,000 out of Venezuela, and he was outstanding in his pro debut in 2021. Pinto had more than twice as many walks (38) as strikeouts (18) in the Dominican Summer League, ranking second in the league in both batting average (.360) and on-base percentage (.486) and fourth in slugging percentage (.543).
Scouting Report: Pinto has a small but strong, compact build. He has outstanding hand-eye coordination and a short, quick stroke, rarely swinging and missing. His ability to recognize pitches and swing at good pitches are already advanced for his age, with a short strike zone that he doesn’t often expand. Pinto is more of an on-base threat than a power threat, but he has some sneaky pop for his size and isn’t just a slap hitter. Pinto’s tools jump out as well. He’s a plus-plus runner who led the DSL with 41 stolen bases. He has a plus arm too. He he spent most of his time last year at second base, his most likely defensive home.
The Future: Pinto has yet to make his U.S. debut, but he’s a breakout candidate and one of the organization’s most exciting players below the full-season level.
