Scouting Report

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

Signed out of Mexico for $125,000 in October 2020, Osuna is the younger brother of former All-Star closer Roberto Osuna and the nephew of ex-big leaguer Antonio Osuna. He has been one of the most consistent hitters in the system and is showing more power this summer. His offensive profile has led to repeated comparisons to Alex Verdugo, whom he idolizes.

Osuna has a quick left-handed swing and recognizes pitches well. He has become more aggressive as he has risen through the Minors and is doing a better job of driving balls in the air in 2024, allowing him to get the most out of his solid raw power. He does a nice job of using the entire field but struggles against southpaws, which might relegate him to a platoon role.

Though he possesses just average speed, Osuna looks to make things happen on the bases. He has played primarily center field this season, a tribute to his instincts, but he's better suited for a corner. His fringy arm strength fits better in left field than in right.

The younger brother of former All-Star closer Roberto Osuna and the nephew of ex-big leaguer Antonio Osuna, Alejandro signed out of Mexico for $125,000 in October 2020. He was the Low-A East's youngest semi-regular (age 18) during his pro debut and returned to that level last season, challenging for the Carolina League batting title before getting promoted to High-A in late July. His offensive game earns him repeated comparisons to Alex Verdugo, whom he idolizes.

Osuna has a quick, compact left-handed stroke and recognizes pitches and manages the strike zone better than most youngsters. He has solid raw power and looks to drive balls in the air to his pull side more often than Verdugo does. He also has feel for utilizing the opposite field and could be a plus hitter with average power once he's fully developed, though he needs to make adjustments to do damage against southpaws.

Though Osuna stole 34 bases last season, he also got caught 18 times and is an average runner who figures to lose a step as he matures physically. He has good defensive instincts that allow him to play all three outfield positions for now, but he spends most of his time in left field and that's his best spot. Most of his value will come from his bat, but it may provide enough for him to become at least a platoon player.

The younger brother of former All-Star closer Roberto Osuna and the nephew of ex-big leaguer Antonio Osuna, Alejandro signed out of Mexico for $125,000 in October 2020. The Rangers challenged him by having him make his pro debut in the Low-A East at age 18 and he was overmatched at times as the circuit's youngest semi-regular. He returned to that level this year and made a run at the Carolina League batting title as a teenager before getting promoted to High-A at the end of July.  

Osuna's offensive game draws comparisons to that of Alex Verdugo, whom he idolizes. He has a quick, compact left-handed swing and a precocious ability to recognize pitches and control the strike zone. He has solid raw power and looks to launch balls to his pull side more often than Verdugo does, giving him the potential to produce 15-20 homers per season. 

Osuna presently has average speed but projects as more of a fringy runner once he's physically mature. Though his defensive instincts allow him to play all three outfield positions for now, he's spending most of his time in left field and that figures to be his long-term home. Though his arm earns average-to-solid grades, he recorded just four assists in his first 132 pro games.
