Scouting Report
Pre-draft rankings: 110th on Baseball America, 193rd on MLB Pipeline, 51st on FanGraphs, unranked on Just Baseball
Arroyo was a standout two-way player in high school who helped Florida powerhouse Stoneman Douglas win back-to- back state championships as a junior and senior. He started his college career with Florida, but played only briefly in a limited reliever role, before hitting and pitching with Pasco-Hernando State (FL) JC in 2024 and then transferring to Virginia for his 2025 season.
Listed at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, Arroyo is a filled out and physical left-handed hitter, first baseman and left-handed reliever. In 2025, Arroyo slashed .291/.361/.519 with 11 home runs hitting in the middle of Virginia’s lineup. He also threw 12 ⅔ innings as a starter and reliever, but struggled with his control. Arroyo’s pro future is as a hitter. He has plus raw power with top-end exit velocities that approach 113 mph and can hit towering home runs to the pull side. Arroyo’s power does come with an aggressive approach and a solid amount of swing-and-miss tendencies that lead to questions about the quality of his pure hit tool.
Arroyo is a below-average runner who fits best at first base where he is a fine defender with solid arm strength. Some scouts think he could move around enough to get a chance in a corner outfield spot.
