Scouting report

Buelvas doesn't have monster tools right now. Instead, he's got an advanced, well-rounded game and hit .300/.392/.506 in the 2019 AZL despite being two and a half years younger than the average player in that league. Yes, two and a half years younger than the average AZL player. His skillset is going to be augmented by how he physically matures. This isn't a player with overt, striking physical projection like Kristian Robinson or other 6-foot-3 prospects of his ilk. Buelvas is an angular 5-foot-11, certainly likely to get bigger and stronger but probably not grow into huge power. He might hit 15 to 20 homers via consistent, quality contact, though right now he has below-average raw power. He's fast and instinctive enough to stay in center field, so he doesn't need big power to play every day. Buelvas currently has a skillset similar to many of the high school outfielders who typically go toward the back of a draft's first round except without their usual physical projection and power potential.
