Scouting Report: Michael Arroyo
Seattle Mariners | SS
Overall
Summary
Edwin Arroyo, 22-year-old switch-hitting shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds organization, has made a remarkable recovery from shoulder surgery that cost him the entire 2024 season. Playing at Triple-A Louisville in 2026, Arroyo has demonstrated a significant return of power and refined offensive approach. Through 39 games, he's batting .342/.408/.590 with 8 home runs, 29 RBIs, and 33 runs scored. His groundball rate has improved from 51% at Double-A to 35% at Triple-A, indicating better pitch selectivity and ability to elevate the ball. Arroyo is also adding versatility by taking reps at third base. His performance trajectory suggests a potential fast-track promotion to the majors if offensive production continues.
