Scouting Report: Edwuin Bencomo
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. After a modest 2025 season at Double-A Chattanooga (.284 BA, 3 HRs), Arroyo has exploded at Triple-A Louisville in 2026, posting a .331 batting average with 7+ home runs in just 35 games. His power surge is attributed to refined swing mechanics that reduced his groundball rate from 51% to 35%, improved pitch selectivity (11% walk rate, 18% strikeout rate), and a more aggressive approach to hitting the ball in the air. He's accumulated 15 extra-base hits in 35 games and is generating significant discussion about a potential promotion to the major leagues to help the struggling Reds offense.
Strengths
- Exceptional power recovery post-shoulder surgery
