Jorge Burgos- OF

Age: 23

Ht: 5'11

Wt: 185

B/T: L/L

Acquired: International Free Agent, 2019, (Venezuela)

Notes: Burgos signed as an unheralded prospect from Venezuela in 2019. He combines solid average contact skills with emerging power. His mature approach at the plate allows him to utilize the whole field. In 2025, he's already demonstrated improved power, smashing 4 home runs (as of this writing) in back-to-back-to-back-to-back games for Double-A Akron, including a 383-foot, 111.0 mph blast. His speed is average, complemented by a strong baseball IQ that aids his base running.

Defensively, Burgos is versatile, capable of playing all three outfield positions and introducing 1st base as an option this season. He has logged time in left, right, and center field. He possesses average arm strength suitable for play in all 3 outfield positions. With continued success, he could see a promotion to Triple-A in late 2025. His recent performance suggests he could develop into a viable fourth outfielder at the MLB level with the potential for more.

Future Role: Burgos is an unheralded prospect who has been young for each level. He's added strength and is periodically producing EVs above 110 mph. The added strength could equate to above-average power. His present contact skills, solid plate discipline, and defensive flexibility may make him a player to watch.
