Cleveland Indians: Top 30 Prospects Countdown, 6-10

No. 9 Aaron Bracho

The first of three middle infielders in this grouping, Aaron Bracho was actually at the Alternate Site for the Indians during the 2020 season, which might give him a bit of a leg up in the race. He wasn’t the only one on this list there, but just getting the invite shows that the Indians have high hopes for him.

For Bracho, he’s set to turn 20 in April, so there’s still plenty of time to develop. However, at 18-years old during the 2019 season he showed some promising flashes that get him in the Top 10 of this list. Playing in 38 games, he registered a slash line of .281/.402/.570 along with eight home runs, 33 RBI and 28 walks. He also added two triples and four stolen bases.

From that sample size, you can see he has speed along with contact and bursts of power. His weakness, though, is his fielding. Playing second base exclusively, Bracho had eight errors on 111 chances over 252.1 innings for a .928 fielding percentage.

If he can improve his fielding, then his value will obviously increase. His offense is really intriguing, making him a candidate to watch progress in a crowded middle infield room that has nine players on the Top 30 prospect list.
