Cleveland Guardians Top Prospects for 2027

1. Ralphy Velazquez, 1B, 21, 6’1”/240, AAA

Velazquez has a smooth, compact swing from the left side but has a ton of power in his 6’3”/215 lb frame. Selected in the first round of the 2023 draft out of California, Velazquez put together a strong 2024 season at the plate. After the organization said they would let him develop as a catcher, Velazquez did not play a single game behind the plate again and wound up playing mostly first base, but some left field in 2026.

After a slower start to his Triple-A promotion, Velazquez wound up hitting a home run nearly every day and finished the season with 29 home runs and slashed .290/.379/.548.

The contact skills are solid, and Velazquez is hyper-aggressive on pitches in the zone. Having an in-zone swing rate north of 73 percent is something you love to see, but the chase rate did go up closer to 30 percent. The overall contact rate fell from 77 percent last year down to 71 percent, but Velazquez did have an in-zone contact rate of 81 percent.

The exit velocities are plus, with Velazquez having a near 106 mph 90th percentile exit velocity. This is a profile that likely reaches 30 home runs in multiple seasons during his MLB career, and Velazquez should debut in early 2027.

FFG: Power Hitting 1B

90th Percentile Peak Outcome: .270/.330/32 HR/2 SB

Variance: Very High

Buy/Sell: Buy
