Cleveland Guardians: Tyler Freeman headlines updated rankings of top prospects

3. SS Brayan Rocchio

Welp, here is yet another immensely talented middle infielder prospect for the Guardians. Nicknamed “The Professor” for his high baseball IQ, the 20-year-old switch-hitter reached Double-A in 2021, where he hit .293/.360/.505 in 184 at-bats. Just like Arias, Rocchio is a stud defensively, giving the Guardians plenty of firepower on the trade market. But Rocchio really seems like the Guardians’ true shortstop of the future.
