Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 45 | Arm: 55 | Field: 45 | Overall: 40
There have been just two Hawaiian prep hitters who signed out of high school to go on and make any real impact in the big leagues: Shane Victorino, a 1999 sixth-round pick, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who went in the fourth round in 2013. Rosario is hoping he can join that short list after the Twins took him with their final pick in the shortened 2020 Draft and has moved one rung at a time. He's gone from the Florida Complex League in 2021 to Single-A Fort Myers in 2022 and then on to High-A last year, when he had his most productive year to date, earning Midwest League MVP honors. He finished off 2023 by tying for the Arizona Fall League lead in home runs.
The Twins’ patience with Rosario’s development appears to be paying off. He made a big adjustment with his setup at the end of 2022 and it really clicked in 2023, using a spread out base to cut down his movement, recognizing he didn’t need to do that much to tap into his natural strength and raw power. He also cut down on his chase rate and drew a lot more walks as his overall approach improved, helping him to lead the Midwest League in homers. While he did a really good job at punishing fastballs, he still missed breaking stuff at a pretty high clip, his front hip can leak out early, leading to struggles with pitches away, and he’s still learning to be adjustable with his swing.
Now a corner outfielder only, Rosario has shown off an accurate arm that racked up 14 assists with Cedar Rapids. Upper level pitching will be the next challenge, but he seems to make improvements at each step as well as anyone in the system and could very well profile well as a power-hitting right fielder in the big leagues.
