Spoiler!

The first two of these Royals prospects have similar offensive numbers, and Cancel continues the trend. He has 30 double potential with 15 to 20 home run pop, but needs to improve his plate discipline and learn how to use his speed.

The 20-year-old was drafted in the same 2015 draft as Rivera, also out of Puerto Rico. The seventh-rounder entered pro ball as a shortstop, but quickly moved to second and called it his home. He plays decent enough, but lacks the range and arm necessary of a shortstop.

If Cancel makes it far, it will be with his bat.

Cancel went 0-for-4 Wednesday night in Rome, but he made contact in every at bat. He lined out, grounded out, reached on an error and popped out. This seems to be exactly the kind of hitter Cancel is, as his batted ball profile is pretty balanced (20 percent line drives, 42 percent ground balls, and 38 percent fly balls).

The right-hander is almost all pull in the power department. He is also an interesting case in his splits. Almost all of his power comes against righties (11 home runs) yet he hits lefties tremendously better (.353 batting average).

Like Lee and Rivera, Cancel can run, but has a slow first step and needs to utilize his speed better. He is 8-for-15 on the season, but as the catching improves as he climbs the ladder, he may cut down on the attempts. Also worrisome is his strike zone awareness. He has struck out 90 times while walking just 19 in 397 plate appearance.

Still, 27 doubles and 14 home runs behind a 124 wRC+ is an impressive jump in full-season ball for a player who struggled at the rookie level. He’s certainly worth keeping tabs on as he climbs the ladder.

Clint Scoles did a small write-up on him as well at his site.
