WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
Oviedo is a toolsy center fielder with a lot of projection, as his bonus suggests.  That includes a chance to hit for power.  His speed and arm are average.

2022
DSL:  177/276/285, 158 AB, 5 2B, 4 HR, 14 BB, 55 K, 14-20 SB

Oviedo played center almost exclusively in his debut.  He didn’t hit well and struck out too much, but he did show some power.  His K rate dropped steadily throughout the season.

DSL stats mean very little at this stage, although it’s encouraging that Oviedo showed some power.
