Dyan Jorge is a fantasy baseball SS prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Dyan Jorge, SS, Colorado Rockies
ANALYSIS: The Rockies signed Jorge out of Cuba in January 2022 for $2.8 million, a Colorado franchise record for an international signing. Like many signees from Cuba, Jorge was older than the typical signee in the 2022 international class, and he spent his first season in the Dominican Summer League, hitting a combined .320/.402/.452 with 18 extra-base hits and 13 stolen bases over 53 games between Colorado's two Dominican Summer League teams.
Jorge is more instincts over true raw tools. He is a plus runner, and his defense is considered plus at short, buoyed by his incredible instincts in the field. The question is whether he'll be able to add much muscle to his 6'3" lean frame without sacrificing speed and defensive ability.
The Rockies brought Jorge stateside for instructs last fall, where he significantly impressed, and he opened the 2023 season back in Arizona in complex ball. So far, that has not challenged Dyan, as he's hit .407/.542/.685 with a stunning 17/7 BB/K over 16 games to open the year.
VERDICT: Because he had to clear after defecting, Jorge is already 20. Age-wise, he's old for complex ball, but his performance is still notable. He should be a guy to move to full-season ball around the mid-season mark, and dynasty owners may need to add him soon after in order to have a shot.
