Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 40/Average

Adjusted Grade: 30

Track Record: Part of a deep Reds’ 2021 international class, Jorge blitzed the lower levels of the minors. He consistently ranked among the offensive leaders in the Dominican Summer, Arizona Complex and Florida State Leagues, but his offensive impact slowed as he climbed to High-A. He stole 40 bases in a solid second full season in the Midwest League in 2025.

Scouting Report: Jorge has grown three inches since he signed, but he remains an undersized line-drive hitter. He showed up slimmer in 2025, which cost him a bit of power, but he also put together better at-bats. Almost all of his below-average power is pull-side, but he is adept at spraying line drives to left field when pitchers stay away from him. He has a solid understanding of the strike zone and made improvements in his contact rate. In rookie ball, he ranked among league OBP leaders, but more advanced pitchers find little reason to give in to a hitter who hit six home runs in 2025. Jorge is an adept basestealer who uses his plus speed well. Jorge’s prospect status relies heavily on his defense nowadays. The former shortstop has developed into a plus defender in center field. He ranges far into the gaps. Jorge’s past history as an infielder shows with his arm. He knows where the ball needs to go, and has an accurate, above-average arm with a quick release.

The Future: Jorge’s ceiling is a pretty modest one. He projects as a lefthanded hitter who could be a solid fourth outfielder with bat-to-ball skills and plus defense in all three outfield spots. He’ll move up to Double-A Chattanooga in 2026.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 35 | Run: 60 | Field: 60 | Arm: 55
BA Grade: 55/High

Track Record: Wherever Jorge goes, he hits. He has ranked in the top 10 in on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS the last three years while playing in the Dominican Summer, Arizona Complex and Florida State leagues. Jorge’s pro odyssey began at shortstop, moved to second base in 2022 and included the addition of center field in 2023 after he moved to High-A Dayton in mid August.

Scouting Report: In an era of baseball when pitchers love to feed four-seam fastballs at and above the top of the strike zone, Jorge is a high-heat antidote. As a 5-foot-10 lefthanded hitter with quick hands, a short stroke and a flat bat path, he’s well-equipped to stay on top of high fastballs. He is also comfortable stinging balls on the outer third to the left center gap. He could flirt with .300 in his best years, and while he’s not a 20-home run threat, his sneaky gap power and plus speed should lead to plenty of doubles and triples. Jorge swiped 27 bases in 31 attempts in the first three months of 2023 before he started to tire. Defensively, Jorge is an average second baseman. His hands are fringy, but his average arm, body control, fearlessness to leave his feet and quick release work at the keystone. He’s getting acclimated to center field but should be at least average there eventually.

The Future: Jorge has a lot of ways to help a big league club thanks to his versatility, hitting ability, on-base percentage (career .395 mark as a pro) and basestealing prowess. Jorge wore down in 2023 in his first foray in full-season ball--he had totaled just 89 pro games in his first two seasons--so training to handle the demands of a five-month season is a point of emphasis as he readies to return to High-A Dayton to start 2024.

Scouting Grades Hit: 60 | Power: 40 | Run: 60 | Field: 50 | Arm: 50
BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: It's easy to underestimate Jorge. He's somewhat undersized, and he doesn't have the twitchiness to be a big league shortstop. But everywhere he goes, Jorge is one of the best players in the league. In two seasons, he's posted a better than .400 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage twice.

Scouting Report: Jorge has a short and direct lefthanded stroke and the bat speed to give him excellent plate coverage. He has a tendency to roll over with his top hand on pitches inside, which limits his ability to drive those pitches, but even then, he still makes contact. And if the pitch is in the middle or outer third of the strike zone, he punishes it. He combines contact ability with an advanced knowledge of the strike zone. Defensively, he's not going to beat out the Reds' bevy of shortstop prospects, but he's fine as an average defender at second with a fringe-average arm. He has a quick first step and is an excellent basestealer despite only above-average speed.

The Future: Jorge has a shot to be an offensive-oriented second baseman who hits for average, posts high on-base percentages and does damage when a pitcher makes mistakes. It's a nice, well-rounded package that should get a bigger test at Low-A Daytona.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 60. Power: 40. Field: 50. Run: 55. Arm: 45.
Track Record: The DSL Reds were loaded with talent, but of all the intriguing prospects on the team, Jorge is the one who had the loudest debut. In a league with 46 teams, Jorge ranked in the top 10 in batting average (.346), OBP (.436), slugging (.579), stolen bases (27) and total bases (92). He also led the league with 10 triples.

Scouting Report: Jorge impressed as an amateur, but he’s proven to be even better than expected. He has a very simple, short swing that leads to tons of quality contact. While his frame doesn’t portend a lot of strength gains, he made solid contact for a teenager in the DSL. He’s short but not small. He’s a plus-plus runner who is a real threat on the basepaths. Defensively, he has the skills to stay in the middle infield with an average arm and above-average range. His twitchy athleticism gives him an excellent first step.

The Future: It’s hard not to think of Ozzie Albies or Vidal Brujan when watching Jorge. Like them, he is speedy, short but strong, and has plenty of offensive potential to go with defensive value.
