DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #35 Victor Bericoto


Victor Bericoto 1B/OF.  DOB:  12/3/2001.  B-R, T-R.  6'1", 155 lbs.

Rookie(DSL):  .344/.472/.485, 15 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 10 SB, 18.7 BB%, 19.7 K%, 284 PA.
Rookie(AZL):  .273/.273/.318, 2B, 3 SB, 0.0 BB%, 27.3 K%, 22 PA.

Victor Bericoto wasn't one of the headline J2 signings but tore up the DSL.  The most obvious exciting item in his stat line is the K/BB.  Guys who go 1:1 aren't too easy to find.  The SB's are intriguing for a guy who played 1B and corner OF.  That demographic puts a lot of pressure on the bat.  He needs to put the ball in the air more, but given a choice, I would probably want to see the plate discipline from a 17 yo before the power.  I'm guessing he'll stay back in extended spring training and surface back in Arizona in June.

    Not to hijack the blog, but Farhan just made a really great signing: GG Switch-hitting 2B Yolmer Sánchez.
    Does it solve the IF question?
    Ken Rosenthal says on Twitter: Sánchez turned down major-league offers for chance to be everyday starter at second base.
    The golden glove @ 2B switch hitter has played a lot of 3B, too.
    Now, if 1B can get in order, attention can turn to the OF (and pitching).
    With some breaks and a couple rebounds, .500 is not out of reach.
