”Gallego has been known to hammer the ball at a high frequency, particularly from the left side of the dish. A switch-hitter, he understandably gets fewer reps against southpaws, but his lefty swing shows much more feel for loft and the ability to drive the ball for extra-base power. He’ll need to add weight and muscle as he faces advanced pitching in the pros but his bat-to-ball skills rate as above average, while he can also generate a good bit of thump from a well-timed leg kick.
A gifted defender, Gallego has the smooth actions to stay at the premium position for the foreseeable future. His arm slots can vary, hampering its overall strength, but he has the quick first step and lateral movement that often portends to success. His long legs allow him to cover ground quickly on the basepaths, seamlessly taking extra bases. If he can improve his physicality, Gallego has the look of a big league infielder.”
