PROSPECT: Ronny Mauricio, SS, New York Mets
ANALYSIS: Even though he's thoroughly blocked at shortstop by Francisco Lindor, Ronny Mauricio is definitely one of the most exciting prospect stashes right now given his blend of upside and proximity.
Mauricio has been torching Triple-A pitching so far to the tune of a .351/.403/.789 slash line along with 12 extra-base hits, six home runs, and two steals in just 14 games. On top of that, Maurcio has improved his walk rate from 4.4% to 6.9% while trimming his strikeout rate from 23.1% to 19%.
The power/speed blend was there in 2022 with Mauricio racking up 26 home runs and 20 steals in 123 games. He was incredibly aggressive in my live looks and that was apparent in that lowly walk rate as well. He's still too aggressive, but the quality of contact is good and the contact rates in general are fine.
VERDICT: If Lindor were to get hurt or another spot opened up where the Mets could shift a player or two around to bring Mauricio up, he'd have immediate fantasy appeal given his power/speed blend.
