depth INF/C with early-contact upside for Pacific
In the 2025 season, Santos-LaPlaca appeared in eight games, made one start, and produced two hits in 11 at-bats, including his first collegiate hit on April 13 at California Baptist[1][2]. The current read is that he’s a developing, low-mileage roster piece rather than a finished product, with his value likely tied to defensive flexibility as an INF/C and a sturdy 6'0", 215-pound right-handed profile[1]. If you need a hard-nosed depth player who can grow into multi-position utility value, he’s worth a look; if you need an immediate impact bat, the production is still very early[1][2].
