Emiliani looks like he had a short, nice stint his second time in rookie ball as a 19 year old in 2019, but really didn't show much last year. Now he's a little old for his level.

We’ll try to plow through these pretty quickly, as this system has more of this tier of prospect than most clubs. ...
[Justin] Connell and Emiliani are bat-to-ball 1B/LF sorts; they have promising contact skills but probably need to end up with premium hit tools to profile.
Per BA, he was signed 7/5/17. No info on his bonus. Columbian.
FWIW, he ranked #32 on this guy's top 50 in the Nats system going into 2021. Fro perspective, he ranked between Noll at #31 and Read at #33. That tier of players he viewed as "Tier 4: Players who have the potential of making the majors, or have a high likelihood of making the majors but providing minimal impact (e.g., middle reliever, low-ceiling UT guys)."

Looks like he has played mostly 1B with few games in left as an 18 year old.
https://www.thebaseballcube.com/page.asp?PT=player&ID=216254Off of his transaction history, it looks like last year was mostly wasted due to injuries after a late start, maybe due to a "testing" issue - "ABS"? Doesn't seem long enough for drugs, so I'm guessing that was COVID?
