Bat Speed:  The uncommitted '23 showcases impressive bat speed getting up to 78 mph while averaging 71 mph landing him in the college - pro range. Bat speed has the highest correlation for exit velo giving Juan a strong baseline to project to hit for power.

 Rotational Acceleration: This metric shows he can accelerate into his  plus bat speed which gives the hitter an advantage against high spin fastballs and breaking balls allowing him to track it deeper and make late decisions. Juan has an advanced peak at 19.8 g's that is above the pro average of 17 g's. His average is a bit lower at 15 g's but still a solid number considering he is only a '23 and will likely continue to get stronger and improve. 

On Plane Efficiency: This shows how consistently he can put the barrel on the ball by getting on plane with the incoming pitch and staying on plane through contact equipping him to hit for power to all fields. Juan's 72% puts him in the ideal on plane % range of above 70.

In a Nutshell:

“Juan’s Bat speed and Rotational Acceleration relationship show how equipped he is to consistently hit for production. It also shows that he has the ability to scale his skill sets at the next level.”
