Robert Puason

Few teenage prospects look the part of a future star shortstop more than the switch-hitting Pusaon when he is taking batting practice or doing fielding drills. However, there have been essentially zero reports to suggest his hit tool is anywhere close to ready for an assignment befitting his J-2 pedigree -- he signed for the same amount as Jasson Dominguez on July 2, 2019 and was once the more hyped amateur prospect. The A's have a pretty weak farm system and Puason had yet to play in any official games since signing, so they brought him to the alternate training site where he was understandably overmatched against pitchers who were often over four years older than him. He has a cannon of an arm, plus speed and a lean, athletic 6-foot-3, 165-pound frame, so everything on his scouting report is glowing except his current hit tool and game power. Don't be surprised if he struggles in his age-18 season.
