Orlando Arcia has long been lauded for his fantastic defensive skills, both as a one-time top prospect of the Milwaukee Brewers and now as the club’s starting shortstop. The 22-year-old Venezuelan native had a solid first full MLB season in 2017, showing some signs of life with the bat (15 HR, .731 OPS) while making thrilling plays in the field.
It would seem like Arcia is the perfect man for a rebuilding club that is looking to make strides into the near and long-term future. He’s cheap, under team control for half a decade, and appears to have plenty of potential to build toward.
