Makeup/Demeanor:
Keeps to himself for most part; some companions on team of same speaking language; shows desire for early work and workouts, some challenges with communicating with coaching staff at times. Can show poor body language in game; slumped shoulders, poor posture etc; high energy in field
Hit (Present 2; Future 3) -
Explosive, strong hands; some strength and explosiveness through wrists; fluid and explosive through hands with above average bat speed; moderate leverage; shows moderate leg kick and slight toe tap and stationary two strike approaches; moderate coil through hips, narrow base prior to transfer; back of box; arm bar swing; moderate load and slight bat wrap; hands drop in load as lower half fires, shows rotation through swing; minimized barrel control; poor, inconsistent seperation at plate; lower half frequently leaks, struggles to recognize on keep hands back on offspeed; immature tracking at plate, poor perceiving spin from release; inconsistent to zone with varying plane; approach shows expansive even in two strike approach, poor extension inner third; expands outer third and elevated; aggressive early in counts; lacks refinement at plate with limitations through swing and tracking ability.
Power (Present 2; Future 4; Raw 55):
Compromises swing to actualize raw in cage; shows moderate leverage and drops back half through with heavy lift through zone; strong explosive hands and core generate raw; inconsistent plane; fails to consistently utilize lower half through swing as hips leak and squander energy generated through swing; potential with improved timing to actualize; strong, powerful, explosive throughout with flashes of quality and pull and center field raw power from left side.
Run (Present 6; Future 6):
Explosive foot speed with effortless, fluid long strides; 4.12, 4.19 turn, 4.25 turn; shows frame conducive to retain footspeed through age, explosive and lean through lower half, strong quick twitch actions; inconsistencies reading opposing pitchers on mound, lacks cerebral tendencies and instincts at present; raw footspeed provides weapon on basepaths even if unrefined; large frame may eventually become more sense into later age, not concern in short immediate term.
Glove (Present 5; Future 55):
Shows quality lateral agility and flashes instinctual reads laterally off contact; above average lateral range with fluid rapid strides and quality closing speed; inconsistencies in straight away reads; delayed first step and poor actions gauging balls off contact at current position when up the middle; potential to improve with greater repetition at position; fairly soft hands and quick twitch actions; efficient routes and closing speed; shows potential to provide value in outfield with footspeed and routes, must refine raw athleticism at current position
Arm (Present 5; Future 5):
Shows average arm strength with inconsistent carry and accuracy at present; will hurry throws and rush transfers without being set. Consistently acheives arm strength to throws with potential to better improve utility with greater maturity and repetition.
Player Role:
Floor - Emergency Bat (3)
Realistic - 4th/Bench Outfielder (4)
Ceiling - Second Division Outfielder (45)
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
Luis Urias (2B) -
Physical Description:
Diminutive build; muscular forearms, base and definition through shoulders with definition through chest as well; narrow set through lower half; smaller legs and limited length through frame; muscular big butt relative to build, toned dense thighs; slightly disproportionate; build shows moderate maintenance through age, no remaining positive physical projection; at physical max despite younger age.

Power (Present 2; Future 4; Raw 5):
Inconsistent utility and ability to consistently generate loft in game at present; shows average raw in cage sparingly to pull side and rarely in game with strength through hands and wrists alongside fluidity through swing more conducive to see raw actualize to greater extent with development; deceptive strength and athleticism at plate; uses cage more for other purposes than pure raw achievement.
Run (Present 4; Future 3):
Dense, heavy footed with poor present footspeed despite age; sluggish, exerted strides and poor straight line agility; plays slightly lesser laterally within field; 4.51, 4.51, 4.47, 4.63; shows consistent effort on basepaths and some recognition of pitcher tendencies; limited in game utility at the highest level
Glove (Present 4; Future 45):
Shows stiff hands; poor game speed for present level, hurried rushed transfers and inconsistent recognition of situation; adequate first step, fringe range at second base; poor footspeed plays down in field; poor lateral agility and fast twitch explosiveness through lower half; shows work ethic and desire to improve in field and during pregame work; limited profile given athletic and physical restrictions; potential utility at below average rates in corners.
Arm (Present 4; Future 4):
Flashes average arm strength; inconsistent utility and arm slot, throws frequently tail with poor extension and release; inconsistent arm strength and ability to utilize in raw form consistently; more exerted release for greater reaches of arm strength; lacks consistent utility in game, passable at present defensive position with further limitations to probable defensive utility and value elsewhere on diamond
Player Role:
Floor - Organizational Bat (3)
Realistic - Bench/Reserve Bat (4)
Ceiling - Bench/Reserve Bat (4)
HIGH RISK
Urias shows talent beyond a diminutive build with limited projection, dense lower half and limited athleticism with quality bat-to-ball components and premium hand-eye coordination alongside a comfortable two strike approach and advanced approach that provide potential to provide major league value despite the extreme limitations and secondary risks throughout the profile. Stresses bat-to-ball skills to carry profile throughout development; still at young age with maturity remaining; shows presently advanced at the plate with potential for further projection; lacks adequate defensive position or bat with enough impact to be forced into lineup on a continual basis.
Javier Guerra (SS) -
Physical Description:

Shows deceptive strength through extremely strong wrists and hands; able to backspin balls to all fields and manifest pull side plus raw from hands and wrists with slightly greater lift; strength shows potential to play in game even with lesser contact, stiffness and inconsistencies; shows potential to actualize raw to either gap and possess pull side out of the park potential; 15-18 HR potential at the highest level when fully actualized even with limitations through bat-to-ball ability; fluid natural strength and barrel explosive to and through zone
Run (Present 5; Future 5):
More dense through lower half; lacks quick twitch explosiveness with more exerted strides on the basepaths; 4.23, 4.26, 4.21; speed can manifest laterally as well as straightline; limited length and explosive athleticism impairs potential value on basepaths and places stress on reactionary ability and precision in field to compensate with glove; potential to maintain through maturity with moderate maintenance physically; potential to diminish slightly through maturity
