HIGH RISK

Cordero demonstrates premium fast twitch athleticism and explosive action in the field and at the plate with the potential to actualize some into greater baseball skills; shows work ethic enough to greater improve and an exceptional frame, will provide value in the outfield and on the basepaths. Severe limitations at the plate that go beyond the pure swing place strict limitations of the profile and diminish potential ceiling though raw footspeed will have opportunity to maximize chances when contact is made and raw power has an opportunity to manifest to an extent in game if committed to a power approach. Explosiveness and fast twitch actions alongside moderate projection provide major league potential as a high risk reserve outfield piece with second division starting ceiling if all actualizes
