Scouting Report

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

Pinango was dealt to the Blue Jays in 2024 from the Cubs for Nate Pearson, and while his Toronto debut didn’t go well with Double-A New Hampshire, he nailed a return to that level in ‘25. After batting .298 with a .928 OPS over 47 games, Pinango earned a promotion to Triple-A for the rest of the season, where he hit .235 with a .714 OPS. It was surprising to see him left unprotected ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, and the Blue Jays seriously considered adding him, but they were thrilled to see him remain with the organization. 

Pinango will need to hit, because his defensive profile is more limited to the corners. He’s improved his bat speed, though, and the next step is to consistently drive the ball in the air. Ground balls have hurt Pinango at times, and he’s not a burner by any means, so he needs to routinely drive the ball; the Blue Jays have been left optimistic by some physical improvements since 2025. The raw power is certainly in there as he proved with a 108.8 mph 90th-percentile exit velocity in Buffalo last season.

This is a big year for Pinango. His second crack at Double-A went much better, so the Blue Jays are hoping for more of the same at Triple-A. If he can continue on this trajectory, there’s a future for Pinango as a bat-first fourth outfielder.

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

Pinango signed with the Cubs for $400,000 out of Venezuela in 2018 and led the Dominican Summer League with 86 hits a year later. He skipped over stateside complex ball after the pandemic but appeared at High-A for four straight seasons until breaking out in 2024. After finally breaking through to Double-A in May of that year, he was traded to the Blue Jays two months later in the Nate Pearson deal and struggled in his introduction to the Toronto system. He returned to New Hampshire to begin his age-23 season in 2025 and took off once again, reestablishing himself as one of the best outfield prospects in his second organization.

A left-handed hitter, Pinango displayed good bat-to-ball skills early in his career but would expand the zone too much in pursuit of contact, leading to rough power. His walk and chase rates have improved in recent years, and by adjusting the base in his stance, he’s been able to keep the bat in the zone longer. His bat speed has impressed Jays officials early in 2025, and he uses it to turn on inside fastballs and better tap into his solid raw power, though he still needs to prove that pop can regularly hold at the upper levels. One of his biggest improvements early this summer has been cutting down on harmless infield popups, thus giving himself a better shot at hits.

A below-average runner, Pinango is limited to the corner outfield spots, and with average arm strength, he’s a better fit in left. That puts a larger emphasis on his bat. Pinango, who was first Rule 5-eligible in 2022, is trending toward being a hit-first fourth outfielder.

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

Signed for $400,000 out of Venezuela in 2018, Pinango debuted the next year and led the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League with 86 hits while placing fourth in the batting race at .358. After the pandemic shutdown, the Cubs jumped him to Single-A shortly before his 19th birthday in 2021. He hadn't shown much power until 2024, when he has made some swing changes during his third straight season in High-A. Following a promotion, he performed like an average hitter for Double-A Tennessee before being moved to the Blue Jays in late July in a deal for Nate Pearson.

Pinango has some of the better bat-to-ball skills in the system, but in the past they translated into substandard contact and cut into his walk totals. He's now using a wider stance, loading his hands better and keeping his quick left-handed stroke in the zone longer. He's also making improved swing decisions, helping him to turn on more pitches and hit them harder than before.

With his high baseball IQ, Pinango makes the most of his average speed, arm and outfield range. He can steal an occasional base but fits best in left field, which put more demands on his bat. If he can get to 20 or more homers a year he might be a regular, though he profiles more as a fourth outfielder.

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

After signing for $400,000 out of Venezuela in 2018, Pinango debuted the next year by leading the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League in hits (86) and placing fourth in the batting race (.358). Though he lost the 2020 season to the pandemic shutdown, the Cubs thought enough of his hitting ability to have him make his U.S. debut in Low-A three days before he turned 19 in late May. He earned a promotion to High-A in August and batted .276 between the two stops.

Pinango has some of the best bat-to-ball skills in the system and is extremely advanced at the plate for his age, making good swing decisions and using the entire field. He has a quick left-handed stroke and is doing a better job of lifting balls in the air in 2022, showing the potential for 15-20 homers per season. He puts the ball in play so easily that it cuts into his walk totals.

Pinango's speed, arm and range all grade as average, and his high baseball IQ enables him to make the most of them. He can steal an occasional base, gets the job done in left field and has just enough arm and accuracy to get by in right. He comes with a high floor, but it remains to be seen whether he'll make enough impact to profile as a regular corner outfielder on a contender. 

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

Signed for $400,000 out of Venezuela in 2018, Pinango led the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League in hits (86) and finished fourth in batting (.358) during his pro debut the next summer. The coronavirus pandemic eliminated the plan for him to make his U.S. debut in 2020, when he was limited to instructional league.  

Pinango has one of the smoothest left-handed swings among Cubs prospects and is one of the most advanced young hitters in the system. He doesn't try to do too much at the plate, and he controls the strike zone and uses the opposite field extremely well. While he didn't homer in his introduction to pro ball, he has some raw power and should provide 12-15 homers per season as he gets stronger and learns to turn on pitches and launch them in the air more frequently. 

Pinango showed solid speed and a knack for stealing bases in the DSL, swiping 27 bases in 62 games. He's a decent defender with room for improvement in center field, though he might have to move if he slows down as he matures physically. He has average arm strength and could wind up in left field.
