Michael Arroyo

Arroyo is a 5-foot-8 second baseman whose 2024 statistical output is hard to ignore. He split his age-19 season evenly with 60 games apiece at Single-A and High-A, finishing with a .285/.400/.509 slash line, 23 home runs, 18 steals and an elite 35.1 percent hard-hit rate. He walked over 11 percent of the time at both stops and his strikeout rate jumped from 20.2 percent to 25.9 percent after the promotion to High-A. Arroyo benefitted somewhat from a few cozy parks in the Northwest League, but when considering his age and on-base percentage, it was an awfully impressive offensive campaign. He doesn't project to add much value with the glove at the keystone, so it all hinges on Arroyo's bat translating at the highest level. He'll have a much tougher home park at Double-A Arkansas and will be one of the youngest players in the Texas League, so don't be surprised if his output isn't quite as staggering in 2025. Even so, he's tracking towards being a bat-first everyday second baseman who contributes a little bit of everything in fantasy and could arrive in the big leagues in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
