Scouting report
Traded from Atlanta in exchange for Matt Adams, Yepez is a heavy-bodied, power-hitting prospect who's passable at a few positions. His best fit is probably first base, but with a remade body, he also saw meaningful time at all four corners in 2019, which helps his likely big league profile of a lefty-mashing extra bat. Yepez's calling card is his plus raw power, but he's been dialing in his offensive approach to make more contact. He's one of a number of corner-only righty power bats in the system, along with Baker, Burleson, and Nunez. (At-home dev)
