Estevan Florial Scouting Report
Florial’s overall numbers show a potential five-tool player. Florial has plenty of raw power. Apparently, he produced an average exit velocity of 91.3 MPH at the Alternate Site last summer (that would be top-30 in MLB).
However, his approach at the plate is not great. Then there’s FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen, who is the low person on Florial’s bat.
Longenhagen points out that Florial’s long swing forces him to cheat on high velocity and makes him susceptible to whiffing against secondary offerings.
