Scouting Report: Orlando Arcia

Background
Orlando Arcia was 13 when the Minnesota Twins signed his 17-year-old older brother Oswaldo as an international free agent.

In 2010, the Brewers inked Orlando Arcia from Venezuela. The right-handed hitting middle-infielder has performed extremely well in parts of four seasons in the Milwaukee system.

The Arcia brothers are extremely close. Oswaldo has influenced Orlando and provided advice to his younger sibling.

Despite missing the entire 2012 season due to a broken ankle, Orlando has compiled a .285 batting average in 1,670 at-bats. He has struck out only 198 times and has shown good patience at the plate, walking 137 times in his four years of Minor League play.
