Scouting Report: Christian Arroyo
New York Mets | 2B
Overall
Summary
Edwin Arroyo, 22-year-old Cincinnati Reds infield prospect, has made a strong recovery from shoulder surgery that cost him the entire 2024 season. In 2026 at Triple-A Louisville, Arroyo is thriving with a .322-.342 batting average, .398-.408 on-base percentage, and .524-.590 slugging percentage across 35-39 games. He has already hit 5-8 home runs this season compared to just 3 in all of 2025, demonstrating a significant power surge. His improved performance is attributed to refined swing mechanics, increased fly ball rate (from 51% groundballs to 35%), better pitch selectivity, and work with strength coaches on hip mobility. Arroyo is also adding versatility by taking reps at third base while maintaining his primary position at shortstop. Multiple sources suggest he warrants promotion to the major leagues.
