BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme
Track Record: Vargas was signed in the Rangers' most recent class for a small bonus of just $10,000. He quickly proved his worth in the Dominican Summer League, where he produced an .878 OPS. His offensive skills mask his lack of a true defensive home or standout athleticism.
Scouting Report: Vargas' best attribute is his contact ability. He needs to stay in the zone more, but his high rate of chase was mitigated by excellent bat-to-ball skills on pitches in the zone. He reminds some within the organization of an early-stage version of Ezequiel Duran because of his ability to make loud contact despite a bit of a free-swinging approach. The Rangers worked with Vargas at instructional league to try to clean up his bat path. Vargas is not the most athletic player in the world but has the chance to stick on infield--either at second or third base--and has the arm strength to handle the left side. He's a fringe-average runner who can steal bases on a combination of instincts and aggression rather than being any sort of burner.
The Future: Vargas will move to the Arizona Complex League in 2023, when he'll try to harness his approach to make the most of his contact ability and try to point himself toward a ceiling as a utility infielder.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 40. Power: 50. Speed: 45. Fielding: 40. Arm: 50.

Vargas was only a $10,000 signing, but his offensive ability is advanced enough where he could be hitting in the middle of a lineup this year in the Dominican Summer League. He shows hitterish tendencies with natural feel for the barrel and a chance to hit for more power down the road. Where he plays is still to be determined, but he has improved in the field and has a chance for third or second base.
