Like #27 prospect Harold Ramirez, Escobar is one of four prospects in Pirates system history to play stateside in their first professional season. In respect to bonus amount, Escobar wasn't as highly touted as Ramirez, receiving a bonus just north of half-a-million dollars. Along with Ramirez, Escobar maned the GCL outfield in 2012.
Escobar played in 56 games, receiving 220 plate appearances. He posted a .274/.338/.374 triple-slash and hit 2 home runs, 4 triples, 5 doubles, and 41 singles, calculating out to a .100 ISO. Escobar walked 8.2% of the time, very good for a young latin american prospect, but he also stuck out 20.9% of the time, a fairly high number. Overall, Escobar had a very impressive first season for a 17 year-old in the GCL.
Escobar has above-average speed and an above-average arm, giving him an outside chance of sticking at center, but he fits better as a tweener defensively. Offensively, Escobar has a polished bat and approach and showed solid power for someone his age and slight stature in his first season. Overall, like Ramirez, Escobar's upside his limited, but he could definitely be a solid major league player one day.
Curious fact, first pointed out on Sickels' site - Escobar and Ramirez were born on the same day. They will be tied for the "youngest..." all the way up the ladder, I suspect.
ReplyDeleteI actually already knew that because of the great work done by Tim Williams over at Piratesprospects.com. Great site.
ReplyDeleteLove Sickels's site as well.
In that same vein, the Pirates two big international signings this year are both named De La Cruz but have no relation. Pretty crazy trend going on.
Yes, you're right. It was on Tim's site. A great site for Bucco fans.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every day.
