    Scouting Report

    For a 20th-ranked prospect, Olivar is an awfully fascinating player. Deemed “underrated” by Cody Christie, the 23-year-old Venezuelan mostly splits time between catcher and left field and has occasionally moonlighted as a center fielder and second baseman. Even by today’s super-utility “do-everything” standards, that’s a unique combination. Daulton Varsho couldn’t live that life for long. Dale Murphy quit catching after his age-23 season. Could Olivar be the rare exception? Eric Longenhagen is skeptical, but the potential is tantalizing.

    Regardless of where he claims a defensive home, Olivar’s offensive upside buoys his prospect profile. He flashed impressive plate discipline in two shortened seasons at the beginning of his pro career before hammering home a critical point the last two years: he doesn’t chase. Won’t do it. He’s walked over 100 times combined between 2023 and 2024, and maintained a modest strikeout rate to boot. 

    Olivar slashed a blistering .287/.393/.473 with Cedar Rapids before earning a late-season promotion to Wichita. He struggled in a small sample but was two years younger than the average player at Double-A; he’ll likely be fine. And today, he clocks in as our 20th-ranked prospect heading into the offseason.
