Molinaro projects as an average 3B for me, possessing the arm to do so. The impact is real, with his collective exit velocity profile being approximately plus. He ran a 23.2% barrel rate in 2024, doing the bulk of his damage in the air as well. The contact quality was solid, reflected by a .392 xwOBAcon. His main flaw has been the whiff rate, specifically when facing velocity and breaking balls, but he makes quality swing decisions and will get a chance to put the concerns to rest this spring.

Weingartner has an 18.7% whiff rate this spring, with some of the best swing decisions in the class. He’s chasing just 12.9% of the time and is swinging in the strike zone at 71%. He’s got a 110 mph max EV, and is hitting the ball in the air as well, which is a great sign.
