Angel Genao

21-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Cleveland Guardians AA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Guardians have a knack for acquiring and developing hit-over-power prospects who project to add defensive value, and Genao is one of the more exciting such archetypes to come through the system. Genao was promoted to High-A Lake County on June 3, just two weeks after his 20th birthday, and slashed .322/.377/.463 with four home runs, 13 steals and a 16.3 percent strikeout rate in 66 games. He didn't hit for the same power as he did at Single-A to start the year (six HR, .212 ISO in 44 games), but his hit tool remained a strength and he tallied 25 steals in 110 games on the year. Genao started 36 games at shortstop, 16 games at second base and 11 games at third base for the Lake Captains, and he'll fit in wherever there's an opening on the dirt when he's big-league ready in a year or two. He is bigger than his listed 5-foot-9, 150 pounds, but not much bigger, and the young switch hitter should remain hit-over-power indefinitely. Read Past Outlooks

Down year at Double-A

September 11, 2025
Genao is slashing .251/.319/.354 with two home runs, six steals and a 16.4 percent strikeout rate in 73 games for Double-A Akron.
Analysis
A sprained right shoulder sidelined Genao until June, and it's possible the shoulder issue sapped some power, although it's worth noting he homered three times in eight complex-league rehab games, so it could also be facing Double-A pitching for the first time that has stymied his offensive impact. The 21-year-old switch hitter has only played shortstop this season and his defensive abilities will put less pressure on his bat, but he'll still need to hit for more power than he has this year at Double-A. Genao, who reportedly grew an inch and added muscle this past offseason, stole 25 bases in 110 games last year but has six swipes in 81 games this year.
