Scouting report
He's rough around the edges, but Rojas is a scintillating talent with the best raw power/speed combination in the system. He swings with twitch, and strength, and ugly (but effective) bat control. He'll show you plus-plus bat speed on a max-effort swing and he'll also make mid-flight adjustments to offspeed stuff. It's not often pretty, but he hits balls hard consistently. The offensive ingredient we don't know about yet is the plate discipline. Right now we're talking about a 6% walk rate across 550 career plate appearances. Some may have some more data from stuff collected at extended or instructs during that time. It's kind of scary, but not as scary as Rojas' abilities are exciting. His speed gives him a chance to be an impact center field defender, and if that happens, he'll profile even if he's a low OBP slugging CF. (Fall Instructional League)
