"Giants: Rayner Arias, OF (No. 8)
Arias was the No. 15 prospect in the 2023 international class but has yet to break out after injuries have limited him to just 95 total games across his first five seasons. Now he'll have one of the most highly anticipated full-season debuts of 2026. The Dominican native stands out for his plus raw right-handed power. It hasn't shown up in games yet, and he's struck out more than you'd like, although it's hard to tell how much of that had to do with multiple wrist injuries. Staying healthy will be a big first step, but he has big offensive potential with a chance to stick in center if it all comes together."

Not seeing how a guy signed in 2023 could have played five seasons yet. It would be great if he broke out this season. Power hitting center fielders always welcome.
Feeling very whelmed about this. Hopefully he has a healthy and successful season!
Those wrists injuries really set him back, it would be great if he could get back on track but his hitting doesn’t look the same. Too much swing and miss with a questionable hit tool makes him look like another Luciano.
