Scouting Report

2024

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

Fellow shortstop Walker Martin (second round, Giants) claimed most of the high school scouting spotlight in Colorado last spring, but Jaworsky also went in the fifth round to the Astros, giving the Centennial State two prep position players drafted that early for the first time. Jaworsky, who impressed with his athleticism at the MLB Draft Combine, signed for an over-slot $847,500 to forego a commitment to Utah Valley State. His pro debut consisted of nine games in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Though there were mixed amateur reports on Jaworsky's offensive upside, Houston likes his approach and believes he'll make consistent contact. He focuses on hitting the ball from gap to gap and shows the ability to make adjustments at the plate. He has a left-handed swing with promising bat speed but won't drive the ball with much authority until he adds some much-needed strength.

Jaworsky also comes with questions about his future defensive home. He does have plus speed but just average arm strength that he enhances with a quick release and good internal clock. The Astros will give him every chance to stick at shortstop, while other clubs thought that second base was more realistic and center field will be the most likely destination.
