Player Outlook
Only Dairon Blanco, Chandler Simpson, Esteury Ruiz and Ronald Acuna have a higher Steamer 600 (if every player got 600 plate appearances) stolen-base projection than Enrique Bradfield among all outfielders, but unlike Blanco, Simpson and Ruiz, Bradfield actually brings elite center field defense to the table. Bradfield probably won't be big-league ready until the middle of the summer, but once he's ready, he'll be Baltimore's best defensive option in center field. Offensively, Bradfield is still working on turning into more than an empty batting average type of hitter (four homers in 108 games last year), but he has a good hit tool. The lefty-hitting Vanderbilt product slashed .287/.395/.396 with a 12.5 percent walk rate and an 11.7 percent strikeout rate in 27 games at Double-A. His groundball rates have generally been over 50 percent and his opposite-field rates have been north of 40 percent, with 11 of his 110 hits last year coming on bunts, so he's not showing signs of getting to more power in games. There's a downside to investing in players with very little power who will probably hit at the bottom of the lineup, but Bradfield has the hit tool and defense to potentially thread the needle for this archetype.

  • Orioles' Enrique Bradfield: Elevated to Double-A

    Rotowire
    The Orioles promoted Bradfield from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports. Bradfield will move up a level after batting .267 with three home runs and 59 stolen bases over 349 plate appearances in 81 games with Aberdeen. As evidenced by his stolen-base production, the 22-year-old outfielder possesses plus speed, and he'll look to continue his development as a contact hitter as he makes the jump to Bowie.
