Scouting Report: Sosa has the defensive tools to profile up the middle. He's an above-average defender at shortstop with sneaky speed and above-average hands, and his above-average arm makes all the throws. While Sosa's instincts are subpar, he began positioning himself better at Triple-A and started getting to more balls without having to range as far, a much-needed development. He also improved his effort and focus, which had lacked in the past. Sosa made an adjustment to use his hands more in his swing and surprised with 30 doubles and 13 home runs. He doesn't make enough contact or walk enough to project as more than a fringe-average hitter, but the newfound power helps his cause.
The Future: Sosa projects as a glove-first utility infielder, but his offense and defense are trending up.
