The Yankees have another farmhand to start following, and if history, repeats maybe their latest touted teenage Venezuelan shortstop someday will make an impact for them like Gleyber Torres has been while hitting 54 homers and going to the All-Star Game twice in his two big-league seasons.

Oswald Peraza, 19, has shown elite skills during his three seasons as a pro, which included 65 games with low-A Charleston last summer where he hit .273 with two homers, 13 RBI and 18 steals.

Never heard of the kid?

You probably will soon.

This week, MLB Pipeline gave Peraza some love when it listed one player for each team who just missed the cut for its 2020 list of top 100 prospects in baseball, which was released on Jan. 25.

This recognition was surprising because Peraza ended 2019 ranked 29th in the Yankees’ top 30 prospect rankings by MLB Pipeline. When the Yankees’ first top 30 of the year is released in February, he’ll probably be in the No. 4 spot behind the three Yankees who were MLB Pipeline’s top 100 – 16-year-old outfielder Jasson Dominguez (54) plus pitchers Clarke Schmidt (88) and Deivi Garcia (92)

“Peraza has batted .267/.350/.346 in three seasons since signing for $175,000 out of Venezuela, but those modest numbers belie his tools and upside,” MLB Pipeline wrote. “He has plus speed, generates some of the best exit velocities in New York’s system and plays a solid shortstop.”

Here is Baseball America’s most-recent scouting report on Peraza, who is a .267 hitter with 44 steals in 159 career minor-league games.

“The most appealing part of Peraza’s game is his bat. Evaluators see at least an average future hitter with average raw power, with some seeing future plus in both departments. His in-game power is limited now because of his size and lack of present strength, though his plus bat speed and sound stroke could lead to more power in time.

“Defensively, Peraza shows outstanding instincts at shortstop, which helps mitigate his somewhat limited range. He’s an average runner and shows smooth actions and a solid internal clock. He’s got an average arm but needs to clean up his mechanics to improve his accuracy.”
