Anderson Tejeda (SS/Texas Rangers)

Anderson Tejeda (SS/Texas)



Seen 5+ Instructs, 5+ Spring



Physique -


Average build; slighter throughout with limited mass; lean with squared slighter shoulders; decent athlete and some moderate quick twitch athleticism; no significant remaining projection; potential to tone into build further





Makeup -


Nothing too exceptionally out of the ordinary; competitor; fairly even tempered and softer spoken, well liked by teammates and shows some leadership qualities; can be slow to adjust and show some dismissive body language in game at times; decent foundation to work off of





Hit - Present 20, Future 40



Relaxed, moderate base further back of box with slightly open front; bent at waist, hands over plate; huge leg kick, hands load in time as stride starts after kick; deep hip coil with slight knee tuck; continues load towards and into foot strike; often extremely early through lower half, completely opens hips as hands begin; late lift, mild drag and turn; large lift through zone and bat path; plus bat speed with explosive wrists, violence through rotation; enjoys attacking out front and early in count, fastball bat; present timing inconsistent, numerous moving parts through swing; some moderate hand-eye coordination, limited barrel control through swing; limited acumen and adjustment at plate at present; always a swing and miss type bat




Power - Raw 60, Future in game 45



Tremendous lift and raw strength; explosive wrists and strong hands, can get fairly well extended through contact; swing conducive for opposite field; shows present raw actualizing in game; lack of bat to ball projection places limitation on future of in game utility of exceptional raw strength and bat speed; potential for 15+ annually with outlier peak years possible






Run - Present 55, Future 50



Straight line footspeed above average with second gear on the basepaths; acumen in reads off stolen bases in fledgling stages at present; 4.22, 4.26, 4.18, 4.15, 4.33 turn, 4.39 turn; enough athleticism and projection to maintain majority of present footspeed through maturity






Glove - Present 45, Future 45



Not a shortstop; moderate athleticism and decent close, average range; stiff, deliberate with messy actions; mediocre first step and inconsistent body control; inconsistent transfers, hair on fire glove with game pace too intense at times; enough to potentially argue utility future given modest raw athleticism and straight line footspeed, some moderate projection is there



Arm - Present 45, Future 45




Average arm strength with mediocre arm stroke; often tails and inconsistent in showings in game; arm action not conducive for accuracy and consistency; utility of arm may play down; often hurries throws at present





Realistic Role - 40 (Bench; second division utility)




Review -


Tejeda possesses exceptional bat speed and explosiveness at the plate that generates tremendous raw power from the left side; limited bat to ball utility and barrel control alongside natural swing first approach place a limitation there at the plate to have the full potential of the bat speed actualize; decent present athlete but shows mostly in straight line capacity, moderate utility on basepaths and potential to develop into utility glove in best case scenario; not confident in profile actualizing to fullest potential; high risk investment with realistic low reward major league future; .240/15 at second base
