Guardians Promote Brayan Rocchio to Triple-A
2 years agoThe Cleveland Guardians have promoted top infield prospect, Brayan Rocchio, to Triple-A. Rocchio is the 72nd-ranked prospect in all of MLB (and the fourth-ranked prospect in the Cleveland organization) as per MLB Pipeline. The international free agent signed out of Venezuela was hitting .265/.349/.432 with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, and 12 steals over 373 at-bats prior to his promotion. In 2021, Rocchio slashed a combined .277/.346/.460 with 15 HR, 63 RBI, and 21 steals at High-A and Double-A. Rocchio projects as a starting shortstop with an above-average hit tool, speed, and defensive capability that will allow him to stick at short. With this promotion, Rocchio remains on track for eventual promotion to the majors sometime in 2023. He has the potential to post 15 HR/20-plus stolen base seasons to go with solid ratios. He should be rostered in all dynasty formats.
