2024 Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brujan spent several years highly ranked in the Rays' farm system, but his minor league hitting success still has not translated to any success at the big league level. He has a career .157/.218/.221 triple-slash line over 99 games and the Rays moved on sending Brujan and Calvin Fauchier to the Marlins for pieces off the 40-man roster this winter. Brujan is out of minor league options, so the Marlins would have to expose the 26 year old utility player to waivers should he not show any growth this offseason. Brujan is capable of playing multiple positions in the field and has plenty of speed, but does not always use it wisely with a poor stolen base success rate and some TOOTBLANs throughout the past couple of seasons. Brujan is essentially Mark Belanger without the defense. Draft him accordingly. Read Past Outlooks

On track for roster spot
Manager Skip Schumacher indicated Friday that Brujan has "a high likelihood" of winning a spot on the Marlins' initial 26-man roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
"He's got a really good chance to make the team," Schumaker said. "He's versatile. He's done enough in Triple-A. He can run. He switch hits. He can do a lot of things for us. I haven't told him that he's made the team or anything like that, but I would anticipate him being part of our club." Brujan was picked up from the Rays in an offseason trade and is out of minor-league options, so him making the Opening Day roster wouldn't be a huge surprise, but it remains to be seen what kind of role the 26-year-old can carve out on a Miami roster that already has Jon Berti entrenched in a utility role and also added Nick Gordon in February.

How does Vidal Brujan compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2018
Brujan played six different spots for the Rays over his 52 played at the big league level, which in itself points to the issue with his future. The club is not certain Brujan has any one home defensively, but they like the versatility in a pinch. He has a track record of hitting throughout the minor leagues as well as flashing his speed on the bases, but 2022 was a struggle for him as he was caught in 18 of his 49 attempts between Triple-A and the majors. The minor league version of Brujan has been a high-contact hitter who has accepted his walks and sprayed the ball to all fields while the major league version has been mostly overmatched by velocity and has seen a steady diet of it. 2023 does not appear to offer him a clear path to a starting position, but he is out of options so he is a cinch to make the roster assuming he is not dealt over the winter because the roster currently shows six different hitters without options on the 26-man roster which is an unusual amount of inflexibility for the Rays.
