Emilio Rosas

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #356 prospect in 2018 draft
  Rosas is well-known to evaluators after playing in three National High School Invitationals and three Boras Classics as Mater Dei's starting shortstop, as well as competing in the Area Code Games. Rosas' main attraction is his defense at shortstop. He is the top defensive shortstop in the region, with smooth actions, soft hands, a quick release and an above-average arm. Not all evaluators are sold on his range and athleticism, however, and the other parts of Rosas' game are much further behind his defense. He is a below-average runner, doesn't hit for power and is a very raw hitter with a long swing that lacks bat speed. A team in love with Rosas' defense could draft him, but most feel he is best served going to college to improve the rest of his game. He is committed to Southern California.
