Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 30 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45

Sanoja grew up idolizing Jose Altuve in Venezuela, and his similar lack of stature limited his market. The Marlins liked his contact-hitting ability and high baseball IQ enough to sign him for $90,000 in July 2019 but the pandemic delayed his pro debut for two years. An organization favorite with his constant energy and intelligent play, he led the system with 158 hits last year as a 20-year-old shuttling between center field, shortstop and second base at two Class A levels. 

Repeatedly putting the ball in play to all fields with a simple right-handed stroke, Sanoja ranked fourth in the Minors with a 7 percent strikeout rate in 2023. Whether he'll provide enough offensive impact to make it as an everyday player remains a question, however, because he's small and rarely launches the ball in the air with any authority. To reach double digits in home runs, he'll need to get stronger and be more selective about which pitches he attacks. 

Sanoja's instincts and aggressiveness allow him to play quicker than his solid speed on the bases and in the field. His quickness, average to solid arm strength and finely tuned internal clock allow him to play almost anywhere on the diamond. He's an average defender at shortstop, compared to solid in center field and at second base. 

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 30 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 40 

Sanoja lacked physicality as a Venezuelan amateur, but the Marlins liked his bat-to-ball skills and all-around instincts enough to sign him for $90,000 in July 2019. The pandemic delayed his pro debut until 2021 and he spent most of last season in Single-A at age 19. He held his own in the Venezuelan Winter League during the offseason and returned to Single-A this year. 

Sanoja makes consistent contact to all fields with a simple right-handed swing. The question is how much offensive impact he can provide, because he's undersized at a listed 5-foot-7 and 150 pounds, makes a lot of groundball contact and rarely drives the ball with authority in the air. He desperately needs to add some strength and even then still will be more of an on-base guy than a power threat. 

A solid runner, Sanoja plays quicker than that with his savvy on the basepaths and his nonstop energy. His speed, average to solid arm strength and his high baseball IQ make him a versatile defender. He's solid in center field and capable at shortstop, second base and third base.
