Ronny Mauricio is a fantasy baseball SS prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Ronny Mauricio, SS, New York Mets
ANALYSIS: The Mets signed Mauricio out of the Dominican Republic in July of 2017. He has been on Baseball America's top 100 lists four times, so the prospect fatigue has set in fairly strong. The big potential has never been realized consistently.
After crushing the ball in the Dominican Winter League this last winter, Mauricio has come into 2023 and put up his best season by far at 22 years old.
While his walk rate is still below 5%, Mauricio's strikeout rate, which has topped 30% in previous stops, has dipped down to 16.2% this season. He's still showing the same impressive power/speed combination, with seven home runs and eight steals in 39 games.
VERDICT: While Mauricio has been producing in Triple-A and is one step away from the majors, his future defensive home is still uncertain as he's struggling at shortstop but is a strong athlete that could become a valuable utility man. Buy him in deep leagues, but take a wait-and-see approach in shallow dynasties.
