Rafaela was the No. 2 Boston prospect in Keith Law's preseason rankings and the No. 48 prospect in the league in Law's midseason rankings.
on the IL, Rafaela can fill in at either short or center. He’s mostly played center in Worcester, on a team loaded with infielders. He played shortstop Sunday for just the second time since July 21. —Rafaela was my No. 48 prospect in my midseason update, shortly after his promotion to Triple A.
He has great bat speed and sneaky power but has long struggled with expanding the zone, with high chase rates everywhere he’s played. His chase rate in Triple A is at 47 percent, although he’s able to hit a lot of pitches out of the zone and has performed despite his aggressiveness.
His defense and speed will allow him to help the Red Sox now, but I’m not expecting much on-base skill from him in the short term. —
