Follow the Prospects: Angel Feliz, SS
« on: July 07, 2024, 10:56:50 pm »
Angel Junior Feliz
Born 11/16/2006 in the Dominican Republic
Signed as an international free agent on January 15, 2024 for $1.8 million.

MiLB Scouting Report:

Quote
Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55

Feliz is a 6-foot-3 infielder with a large, lean athletic frame. The 17-year-old trains in the Dominican Republic with Raul “Banana” Valera, who also worked with Top 50 international prospect Andy Acevedo, a member of Washington’s 2022 international signing class and Dominican Summer League club in 2023. There is room for Feliz to continue filling out physically, and he is expected to add strength as he matures and his body develops. He will also benefit from daily instruction in a team’s academy once he signs and starts his journey through an organization.

Advanced bat speed and pull-side power are the tenants of Feliz’s offensive approach, as his swing stays long through the zone. Armed with a solid approach and good timing -- along with solid physical tools -- there is expectation that Feliz could become an impactful contributor as he hones his game.

A gamer, Feliz has been praised for his baseball IQ and makeup.

Definitely promising but after getting excited for Vaquero last season just for him to struggle in low-A this year really reminded me to take rookie league numbers with a large grain of salt.

 Now up to #16 in our top 30 in the mlb pipeline rankings. Todd Boss notes he made the DSL all-star team after posting .308 /.385 /.449 this year. Just 18 years old.

OPS up to .857 after going 3-5 with a triple today. Also stole his 27th base. Should be fun to see him in Fredricksburg next year.

Camerato update:

Quote
3B/SS Angel Feliz (No. 16)
Age: 18
Signing class: 2024, $1.7 million (Nationals)
Major League ETA: 2029
Last season: Dominican Summer League
2024 stats: 49 games, .310/.381/.468, .849 OPS, 4 home runs, 20 RBIs, 27 stolen bases
MLB Pipeline: “His promising pullside power should play pretty quickly when he first sees pro pitching. That right-handed swing can get a bit long, so tightening that up might be one of the early focuses for Washington’s hitting instructors, but the pop alone gives them plenty of positives to work with.”
