Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 60 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

Despite signing for just $75,000 out of Venezuela, Mogollon looks like the best prospect from Chicago's 2023 international crop. He batted .289/.412/.555 in Rookie ball during his first two pro seasons, ranking fourth in the Dominican Summer League with 10 homers in his debut and third in the Arizona Complex League with eight blasts last year. Though he's listed at 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds, he produces some of the best exit velocities in the system.

After showing a more measured approach in the DSL, Mogollon adopted a leg kick and focused almost solely on launching balls in the air to his pull side in 2024. With his quick right-handed stroke, he still smoked balls hard and hit some tape-measure shots, but he also posted the third-highest strikeout rate in the ACL at 38 percent. He's not afraid to work deep counts and take walks, and he does show some feel for the barrel when he's not trying to do too much at the plate, but he'll have to tone down his aggressiveness when he faces better pitching.

A plus runner with savvy on the bases, Mogollon stole 16 bags in as many attempts in 46 games last season. After playing more second base in his debut, he spent most of 2024 at shortstop. He has solid arm strength, though his range is just average at short and he needs to improve his defensive consistency.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

Though he signed for just $75,000 out of Venezuela, early returns indicate that Mogollon may be the best prospect in Chicago's 2023 international class. He slashed .315/.417/.582 in his pro debut, ranking fourth in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League with 10 homers. He stands just 5-foot-8 and is a long way from the Majors, but he offers one of the more intriguing combinations of hitting ability and power potential in the system.

While he won't be a true slugger, Mogollon has stunning raw pop for his age and size, already producing occasional tape-measure shots -- at age 17, he had a maximum exit velocity of 105 mph. He has a quick right-handed stroke and already shows some feel for driving the ball in the air. He doesn't try to do too much at the plate and has a knack for putting the barrel on the ball.

The rest of Mogollon's tools are average, though he's a savvy and aggressive runner on the bases. He plays under control in the middle infield, with his range and arm best suited for second base. He saw some action at shortstop in 2023 and the White Sox want to give him more time during his U.S. debut this year.
