| Summary: Double-plus speed is what makes Brito’s profile go and it shows up everywhere. A weapon on the bases, an asset in center field where the athleticism and jumps give him plus range, and a dimension that elevates every other tool in the profile — the speed is the carrying tool that gives the evaluation its floor and its ceiling. The versatility to handle both center field and second base gives organizations multiple ways to deploy the athleticism, and the long-term defensive home will come into clearer focus as the profile matures. From both sides of the plate, the twitchy switch-hitter generates solid contact with a linear swing plane and outstanding plate coverage that allows him to use the whole field. A tendency to get pushy in the swing — particularly from the left side where pulling off the plate can be exploited — and an aggressive approach that needs to be dialed back with two strikes are the mechanical and approach markers that will determine how quickly the bat-to-ball translates against better pitching. The raw power hasn’t fully surfaced in games yet and the over-the-fence production is a question that the frame and continued physical maturity will need to answer. An absurdly well-rounded collection of tools for a player this age — the speed alone gives the profile a big league path, and the hit tool and defensive versatility give it legitimate everyday upside if the approach refinements take hold. | |||||||||||
