As I am working through the production of the 2014 Prospect Guide I am going to share some scouting reports. I had one a few weeks ago that I shared before I unveiled the Top 25 Prospects list. Today I am giving away another one for free that will be in the Prospect Guide (which you can pre-order by clicking on the image above).

Scouting Report
Ronald Bueno spent just one week in the US last year before heading back to the Dominican Summer League. In 2013 he spent his entire year stateside, spending just a week with the Arizona League Reds before heading to Billings where he played shortstop for the Mustangs. The switch hitter posted a line of .280/.335/.377 on the season between his two stops. He showed more power from the left side of the plate and went without an extra-base hit from the right side but did hit .333. Power won’t be a part of his game, but he shows good plate discipline and a contact oriented swing from both sides of the plate. He shows above-average speed on the base paths. Defensively he shows average range and an average arm at shortstop. While he doesn’t project to be a starter, he may be a future utility player who can cover multiple positions while providing a speed and contact oriented offensive skill off of the bench.
