Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a contract with the Pirates in January of 2021.
Bumped to Double-A
Valdez is batting .182 with zero home runs and an 8:4 K:BB in 10 games since getting promoted from High-A Greensboro to Double-A Altoona on July 1.
Analysis
A righty-hitting corner bat who won't offer much defensive value, Valdez slashed .303/.385/.592 with 20 home runs, a 9.9 percent walk rate and a 24.5 percent strikeout rate in 72 games at High-A prior to his promotion. His 172 wRC+ ranks second among all qualified High-A hitters, behind Josue Briceno (180 wRC+). As a 21-year-old bat-first player, Valdez will be expected to do plenty of damage at Double-A over the rest of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking great in AFL
Valdez is one of several prospects who have stood out in the Arizona Fall League, according to Keith Law of The Athletic.
Analysis
Valdez routinely made hard contact and was able to hit home runs off pitches at over 105 mph with ease. He can hit for both power and average, according to Law, who rated him as "the best offensive performer I saw" in the AFL. Valdez is projected to play either as a first baseman or left fielder once he reaches the majors, so his value will come almost entirely from what he can do at the plate.
