With trading for outfielder Juan Soto, the Padres’ farm system has been significantly weekend so Eguy Rosario is one of the best remaining prospects. He is the Padres’ no. 3 prospect, according to MLB.com but he is not in their Top 100 overall list. He is also having a very good season at Triple-A, though.

In 102 games at Triple-A in 2022, Rosario is hitting .302/.387/.528 with 30 doubles, 18 home runs, 70 RBI, and 18 stolen bases.

According to MLB Pipeline, here is what he ranks on a 20-80 scouting scale:

Hitting: 50
Power: 45
Running: 55
Arm: 65
Fielding: 50
Overall: 50

He would be a rookie, though, as he has not made his MLB debut. In fact, he is not even on the club’s 40-man roster. However, he can play second base and third base in addition to shortstop.
