Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 11, Roldy Brito

Compact at 5-foot-11, Brito is a twitchy athlete and switch-hitter, who has shown an ability to hit the ball hard from both sides of the plate. In his brief time with the Rockies, he’s shown he has a gameplan at the plate, is willing to draw walks and keeps his swing-and-miss relatively limited. There’s extra-base thump in there, with perhaps more power to come, but he profiles more as a catalyst type who could sit atop a lineup long term. His plus speed would be an asset there as well, especially if he can learn the nuances of the basestealing craft (35 steals, 14 caught in 2025).

Signed as a middle infielder, Brito did see a little time at shortstop during his pro debut, but has spent most of his time on the dirt at second, in deference to [Ashly] Andujar. He added center field this year, giving him more defensive versatility and has looked fine defensively in both spots, giving the Rockies options should his offensive game continue to trend upwards as he moves up the ladder.
