Jesus Made

Made, a 2024 Dominican Summer League scouting and data darling, had perhaps the most highly-anticipated stateside debut in history when he opened 2025 as a 17-year-old in the Carolina League. He didn't get to much power in games (four HR, .121 ISO), but Made more than held his own, logging a 14 percent walk rate, 20.6 percent strikeout rate, .373 OBP and 40 steals in 378 plate appearances before getting promoted to High-A Wisconsin in early August. A 6-foot-1 switch-hitting shortstop with elite athleticism and bat speed, Made got better as the season went on, as he slashed .343/.415/.500 while cutting his strikeout rate to 17.9 percent in 27 games at High-A. He finished out the year with a week of play at Double-A Biloxi, where he figures to return to start 2026. His six homers in 115 games greatly undersell his long-term power potential, as Made has been given extremely aggressive assignments and is still filling out his athletic frame. The finished product could be a first-round fantasy shortstop along the lines of Hanley Ramirez who fills up the standard five roto categories, with an estimated arrival of late-2026 or Opening Day 2027.
