Echedry Vargas

ANALYSIS
While the surface stats appear promising for the 19-year-old middle infielder, his 0.24 BB/K, 22.0 percent hard-hit rate and 25.5 percent soft-contact rate portend struggles in the upper levels. Vargas is an aggressive hitter who doesn't make consistent hard contact, so he projects to log low on-base percentages and potentially low batting averages. Even so, he could potentially log a 20/20 season or two if he finds his way into an everyday role. Vargas projects to be a quality defender at second base or a passable defender at shortstop, and his most likely role is utility infielder who sometimes ascends to regular duty depending on injuries and performance.
