SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Vidal Brujan might not be the top-ranked prospect in the Arizona Fall League, but he might be one of the most exciting.

Earlier this week, the Rays’ No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipleline was named the organization’s Baserunner of the Year for a second consecutive season. Earlier this year, he was named one of MLB’s 30 fastest prospects.

On Friday night against the Mesa Solar Sox, the Salt River Rafters’ starting shortstop showed no signs of slowing down in the 6-1 victory at Salt River Fields.

In fact, he said, he’s just getting started.

“One of my goals of the Arizona Fall League is to improve on my overall game, especially hitting and defense,” Brujan said in Spanish. “I’m practicing at shortstop, a position I haven’t played in three years, so I’m happy about that.”

Brujan finished 2-for-4 in the win. He singled in the first inning and was later caught trying to steal second on a strong throw by Cleveland catching prospect Gavin Collins. In the third, Brujan reached base safely on a bunt single and was stranded at first base when the next batter, Colorado’s Colton Welker, flied out.

Brujan hit into an inning-ending double play in the fifth and struck out in the eighth for the fifth time in 29 at-bats in Arizona Fall League play.

“I feel like it was a good game, and I was able to demonstrate all of my abilities,” he said. “I felt very comfortable out there, and I’m getting more comfortable each game. It was a good win.”

During the regular season, Brujan’s 48 steals in 61 attempts for Class A Advanced Charlotte and Double-A Montgomery led the organization. He also ranked fifth among all players in the Minors in the category. What’s more, his 78.7% success rate was the highest of his Minor League career. Last season, he stole 55 combined bases between Class A Bowling Green and Charlotte.

“There’s a lot of talent, just tons and tons of talent,” Salt River manager Keith Johnson said. “It’s starting to come together, and you can see that already. It’s still raw and [there is] still some baseball, intelligence-wise, that he needs to learn, but the only way to do that is to go out there and make some mistakes. But I tell you what, if he makes a mistake, it’s going to be an aggressive one.”

It’s been an interesting start for Brujan. He’s hit two home runs, scored four runs and driven in three in seven games. He leads the Rafters with 19 total bases.

But so far, he’s been unsuccessful in his first three stolen-base attempts in AFL action.

“What can I say? It’s about adjustments,” Brujan said. “I know I have the ability to steal lots of bases, and I know that’s coming. I know the team expects it from me, so I will get them. I’m ready to do it.”
