"Jefferson Rojas looked the part of a top prospect last year at High-A, earning himself the bump to Double-A at just 20 years old. There, though, he struggled to maintain his typically high-quality contact."
"After a .485 OPS in 39 G in AA at the end of last year, he seems to have adjusted to the level. So far in 2026, he has a .333/.379/.741 line with a 1.120 OPS."
"That home run, by the way, was of the supremely clutch variety. It was a three-run shot in the 8th inning, as the Smokies trailed by two, and it wound up being the winner."
Jefferson Rojas, a 20-year-old shortstop, struggled in Double-A last season with poor contact quality, recording no home runs in 39 games. This offseason, he focused on improving his game. In the current season, he has made a strong start, hitting three home runs and two doubles in just six games. His performance includes a clutch three-run home run that secured a win for his team. Rojas appears more disciplined and stronger at the plate, showcasing his potential as a top prospect.
