"That's obviously a tiny sample of work but his minor league track record also isn't great. From 2021 to 2023, he hit .233/.350/.419 on the farm. That offense translates to a 104 wRC+, indicating he was above average but barely. He struck out in 29% of his plate appearances in that time. In 2024, he had a monster .299/.372/.514 showing in Triple-A."
"He still struck out at a fairly high 27% clip but that offense was good enough for a 130 wRC+, even in the hitter-friendly context of the Pacific Coast League. Here in 2025, a sprained MCL in his left knee limited him to just 22 Triple-A contests. He hit .241/.312/.422 for a wRC+ of 89 in those. Obviously, the Astros were hoping for more when they signed him."
Pedro Le f3n was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles from the Houston Astros, pending a 40-man roster move. The 27-year-old Cuban outfielder signed with Houston in January 2021 for a $4MM bonus and was once a top system prospect. He has seven major-league games with a .100/.143/.100 line and mixed minor-league results: .233/.350/.419 (2021-23) and a strong .299/.372/.514 Triple-A season in 2024. A 2025 sprained MCL limited him to 22 Triple-A games and a .241/.312/.422 line. The Orioles view him as an optionable depth piece with breakout upside.
