PROSPECT: Aeverson Arteaga, SS, San Francisco Giants
ANALYSIS: The Giants signed Aeverson Arteaga out of Venezuela in July 2019. Due to the pandemic, he did not get to make his pro debut until 2021, when he played so well in complex ball that the Giants gave him one game in Single-A.
He moved up to Single-A San Jose in 2022 and spent the year there, hitting .270/.345/.431 with 35 doubles, 14 homers, and 11 steals. He was aggressive on the defensive side which lead to some silly errors.
The Giants hoped to have Arteaga slow down on defense at High-A this season, and it's worked so far. His bat was slow to come around, however, as he was hitting .209/.298/.371 on July 1. From that point on, he's hit .286/.328/.563 with seven home runs in 29 games.
VERDICT: Arteaga should get a splash of Double-A by the end of the year after this recent run. He should definitely be owned in deep and mid-size dynasty leagues, but hold off in shallow leagues until he shows he can control his strikeout rate in the upper minors.
