Scouting Report

2026

Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40

After stops at Florida International and the JUCO ranks, Aleman ended his college career at Florida, where the Cuba native racked up a lot of strikeouts in a swingman role. The Guardians signed him to an over-slot $175,000 bonus in the 10th round as the third of three Gators they landed in the 2021 Draft, and he’s turned out to be the best prospect of the trio. Since transitioning fully to relief in 2023, he's delivered a K/9 rate of at least 12 at every level, and his control took a big leap forward in 2026 ahead of his big league debut.

The right-hander stands out for the fastball-slider combination that he throws more than 90 percent of the time. His stuff alone is strong and plays up even more because of the extension he gets on his 6-foot-6 frame and the deception he gets on his Johnny Cueto-esque windup that enables him to mess with hitters’ timing. Aleman sits 96-97 mph and can touch 101 on a fastball that gets exceptional armside run from a low three-quarters release. He pairs that with a mid-to-upper-80s slider that has been unhittable at times.

Aleman has been working in an upper-80s changeup against lefties this season. It doesn’t pick up many whiffs, but it gives him another strike-throwing option at the bottom of the zone. Aleman had run walk rates above 10 percent in 2024 and '25 but almost slashed that in half in 2026. If he can keep that up, despite a high-effort, long-levered delivery, he could wind up a back-of-the-bullpen option.

2024

Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 60 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40

A 38th-round pick by the Braves out of a Florida high school in 2018, Aleman bounced from Florida International to St. John's River (Fla.) CC to Florida over the next three years. He continued to intrigue scouts but never had consistent success, finally turning pro as a 10th-rounder in 2021. He found his niche as a full-time reliever last year and was spectacular following a July promotion to Double-A, where he didn't allow an earned run while posting a 38/5 K/BB ratio in 24 innings.

Aleman's stuff improved in shorter stints, especially in the second half of 2023. His fastball averaged 96 mph for the year and sat at 96-99 while reaching 101 with a flat approach angle and tough carry. His mid-80s slider became sharper and was a wipeout pitch at its best.

Aleman wasn't nearly as effective in High-A, so he'll have to prove he can sustain his stuff and success over a full season and against move advanced hitters as he moves up. The Guardians have helped him clean up his delivery and improve his direction to the plate, but he still throws with a lot of intensity. He'll have to work on fielding his position after making six errors in eight chances a year ago.

Draft

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 45 | Overall: 40

Born in Cuba, Aleman moved to Florida with his parents when he was 11. After attending the same high school where the late Jose Fernandez and Tigers prospect Alex Faedo also pitched, he headed to Florida International for college, starting there as a freshman and then pitching well in the Cape Cod League. He transferred to St. John’s River Community College for 2020 and then moved to the University of Florida for the 2021 season, where he both relieved and started with mixed results.

The 6-foot-6 Aleman was more of a sinker-slider type of pitcher at St. John’s, but a change to focusing on four-seamers up in the zone has meant more velocity with his fastball. He’s touched 98 mph this year, averaging just over 93 mph and showed he can maintain his velocity deep into starts at times. He can miss bats with his slider, but because of a long arm swing behind him in his delivery, he has trouble staying on top of it consistently.

While Aleman throws hard, his fastball has had a tendency to get hit up in the zone because he doesn’t command the pitch well enough, leading some to think he might need to go to the sinker, which still can get ground balls, more at the next level, where he could be a sinker-slider type reliever.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.
