Overall: The Venezuelan infielder signed with the Jays for $775,000 as part of their 2019 class. The undersized Machado is a switch-hitter whose offensive game is built on making contact, and going pole to pole. There won't be much power to speak of, but his approach is sound and the ingredients are here for an above-average hit tool, maybe even future plus. He's an average to slightly above-average runner with good enough defensive skills to stick at short, although he will defer to another 2019 signee, Rikelvin De Castro at the six. Machado is a good athlete that has an up the middle future, and could develop into an everyday player as he gets stronger.
