| Summary: Magana brings an athletic, switch-hitting profile built around bat speed and looseness in the box. The hands are quick and direct from both sides, allowing him to stay in the zone a long time with a level, line-drive path geared for consistent contact. He works from a wide base with noticeable weight shift into the load, occasionally getting heavy on the back side, but the barrel control and hand speed allow him to square quality velocity. Present approach is contact-driven, though the raw bat speed hints at more impact as strength and sequencing continue to clean up. A strong runner (6.38 sixty) whose speed plays both underway and in short bursts, he moves well enough to handle the middle of the diamond. Actions and athleticism fit at shortstop for now, with the range and quickness to stay there as he matures. Overall profile leans athlete-first with real offensive upside, particularly if the swing tightens and he begins to translate bat speed into more consistent extra-base damage from both sides of the plate. | |||||||||||
