2025 Fantasy Outlook
With Andres Gimenez dealt to Toronto and 2024 No. 1 overall pick Travis Bazzana not ready to assume the big-league second base job, this season is shaping up to be Brito's chance to show what he can do against big-league pitching. He doesn't have any plus tools, and currently doesn't even project to have any above-average tools, but Brito could hit around .250 or .260 with 20-homer power and a handful of steals. He slashed .256/.365/.443 with 21 home runs, 13 steals and a 16.1 percent strikeout rate in 144 games at Triple-A during his age-22 season. Unlike many Guardians middle infielders before him, Brito is just OK in the field and lacks impact speed, so he'll need to get on base at a strong clip while getting to all of his 50-grade power in games in order to profile as an everyday second baseman. The switch hitter could see time at third base or first base as needed, but he fits best at the keystone, which is Bazzana's spot in Cleveland long term. Brito will need to show something offensively as a rookie in order to figure into the club's long-term plans. Read Past Outlooks
Optioned to Triple-A
The Guardians optioned Brito to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old posted a .177/.222/.529 slash line with four homers over 13 games in spring training and was unable to earn a place on the Opening Day roster. Brito still has a strong chance to make his MLB debut at some point in 2025, especially if he can replicate or improve upon the .808 OPS he produced at Triple-A last year.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brito has performed well in the minors, but Nolan Jones' performance for the Rockies in the second half of last season has made that November 2022 swap look like one of the more lopsided prospect for prospect trades in recent memory. For his part, Brito is trending like a bat-first infielder who could hit for a decent average with a strong OBP and 20-homer pop. He spent most of his age-21 season at Double-A while also seeing time at High-A and Triple-A en route to a .271/.377/.434 season line with 14 home runs, a 15.9 percent strikeout rate and a 14.1 percent walk rate in 127 games. Unlike many young Guardians infielders, Brito won't add much defensive value, either at second or third base, so he needs to reach his potential as an offensive player. He is already on the 40-man roster and could debut in 2024 if there is a need.
