Scouting Report
Acquired via trade from the Astros in July 2025
August 2025 update: Valencia plays all aspects of the game with a very high motor. He takes extra bases and makes defensive plays that you wouldn't expect, while also attempting the hit certain pitches that he'd be better off taking. He is on pace to rank among Minor League Baseball's top 10 base-stealers this season.
