Canario wasn’t a high-profile international signing, garnering a $60,000 when he turned pro out of the Dominican Republic in July 2016. He has yet to make his U.S. debut but already has emerged as one of the more intriguing prospects in the Giants system. He ranked second in extra-base hits (26), third in RBI (45) and fourth in total bases (109) in the Dominican Summer League in his first taste of pro ball, also capturing MVP honors in the Rookie-level circuit’s all-star game.

A right-handed hitter, Canario shows a penchant for making consistent hard contact and some patience to draw walks. While his home run potential is more evident during batting practice than in game action, he could develop average power once he adds some much-needed strength to his slender frame. He’s currently a plus runner who’s aggressive on the bases, though he figures to lose a step once he matures physically.

If Canario retains much of his present speed, he has a chance to play center field. He spent most of his pro debut in right field and has the solid arm strength desired at that position. If his bat develops like San Francisco hopes, he could be a legitimate five-tool player.
