Aeverson Arteaga SS. DOB: 3/16/2003. B-R, T-R. 6' 1", 170 lbs. International Amateur Free Agent 2019.
2023(A+): .235/.299/.410, 17 HR, 8 SB, 7.3 BB%, 24.2 K%, 546 PA.
2024(ACL): .444/.500/.1.000, 2 SB, 10.0 BB%, 50.0 K%, 10 PA.
2024(A+): .183/.287/.244, 1 HR, 3 SB, 12.8 BB%, 27.7 K%, 104 PA.
Arteaga is one of those 2019 signings whose pro career was delayed by COVID. He is a slick-fielding SS with a decent bat who was progressing up the minor league ladder at a deliberate pace when he was derailed again by what I understand was thoracic outlet surgery. He came back late last season and struggled in A+ ball. 2025 is a pivotal season to see if he can get back on track.
Arteaga was looked at as the eventual replacement for Brandon Crawford. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Not sure how true this is. Possible Giants SS of the future? Yes. Heir apparent to Brandon Crawford? I would take issue with that characterization.
