Power Pros Forum

Next on my list is young Padres utility man Alexi Amarista. He's a speedy slap-hitter who can play almost every position on the diamond. His main position is shortstop, but he also played 3B, 2B, LF and CF last season. I'm thinking SS main, 2B and CF secondary. Here's what ED44 had for him in 2011:

And 2013:

Any help is appreciated, I'm going to start him soon. Thanks in advance!

Alexi Amarista

Bats Left/ Throws Right
I agree with the position layout:
SS is #1, 3rd is #2, and CF is #3 (as of his games from 2014)

Trajectory 2 (Might be a stretch too high, but it should be fine)
Contact 6
Power 80-90
Run Speed 10
Arm Strength 4-5 (not seeing that much here)
Fielding 7
Error Resistance 6-7

I used the fan scouting report on fangraphs. Yes I understand that they are opinionated but I did my best. I found the Speed, Arm, Fielding and Error Res. numbers on fangraphs. I did a simple calculation: (grade giving/100) ----> that decimal number multiplied by 15 (MLB PP max) and what ever it came to, ex: Arm strength was 4.5

Spray Hitter - Seems to get hits all over the field; use the chart on the left http://www.fangraphs.com/spraycharts.aspx?playerid=9063&position=2B/OF&type=battedball&pid2=9063&ss1=2014&se1=2014&ss2=2014&se2=2014&cht1=hittype&cht2=battedball&vs1=ALL&vs2=ALL
Firstball Hitter - 16 for 46, .348 BA

Stealing 4 - Maybe?? 77% steal rate in career

That's all I really see here.

Not bragging or anything, but making this guy was quick. Came out perfect, ability wise and appearance wise. In addition to the abilities you see, he also has Stealing 4 and Agg_Run. Only thing is that I thought he deserved 2B as a secondary rather than 3B, that's my opinion. Enjoy!
