MLB Pipeline’s 2019 All-Defense Team
MLB Pipeline unveiled its 2019 All-Defense Team on Monday, and among those chosen was Braves outfielder Cristian Pache. Here are their observations of Pache defensively.
Outfield: Cristian Pache, Braves
Pache was on the list a year ago thanks to his reputation of having plus range (thanks to his speed and tremendous instincts) to go along with a strong arm in the lower Minors. Not only did he make it to Double-A in 2018, but he really got to show off his defensive chops in front of all 30 teams in the Arizona Fall League. He is smooth and confident, and most feel he’s ready for the big leagues defensively right now.
”He’s a potential 70 grade defender in center field, where every aspect of his defense is an asset,” another AL scouting executive said. “A true ball-hawking, gap-closing center fielder who plays with a reckless abandon to go along with a plus arm. He has a rare combination of athleticism and instincts for the position; he can really slow the game down.”
