Adrián Sugastey has been ranked as the No. 38 prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization, dropping from No. 25. At 22, Sugastey, who was signed from Panama in 2019, has been noted for his defensive skills and ability to connect with pitchers. However, his offensive performance has declined, particularly in 2024, when he posted disappointing stats in AA, leading to concerns about his ability to compete at the MLB level. The team hopes he can improve with more experience during Spring Training.
While his strikeout rate of 19.9% remained strong, his already-worrisome walk rate plummeted to just 2.6%. Power was mostly absent.
Sugastey has been lauded for his defense, leadership, and rapport with pitchers, but now the question is whether his offense can catch up.
