2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mauricio tore his ACL playing winter ball last offseason and missed all the 2024 season. Unfortunately, he also needed a cleanup procedure in August on the same knee and general manager David Stearns said in late-October that Maurcio's recovery had been slower than expected and he still hadn't advanced to baseball activities. Pre-injury, Mauricio had top-of-the-scale exit velocities and bottom-of-the-scale swing decisions, making for a difficult evaluation. Mauricio will enter the season eligible only at second base in most formats, and if he reports to spring training fully healthy, he could theoretically compete for a starting infield job in spring training. However, despite the fact Mauricio mastered Triple-A already in 2023, he will likely return to that level to knock some rust off and get his timing back while getting comfortable trusting his surgically-repaired knee in game situations. He's a boom-or-bust option best reserved for draft-and-hold formats until we get a better sense of his physical readiness in the spring. Read Past Outlooks

Hitless in season debut

June 4, 2025
Mauricio went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start at third base and batting seventh in his 2025 debut. Mauricio grounded into a double play in the second inning and looked foolish chasing a Clayton Kershaw curveball in the dirt in the fourth, but he's hardly the first hitter to have trouble squaring up the future Hall of Famer. Mauricio could be in line for significant playing time while Mark Vientos (hamstring) is sidelined, platooning with Brett Baty at the hot corner while also seeing action at second base and DH. Mauricio won't match the absurd .515/.564/.818 slash line with three homers and four steals he posted in 39 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse, but the 24-year-old has intriguing fantasy upside.

2017
Unfortunately Mauricio tore his ACL playing winter ball in mid-December, so he will miss most or all the 2024 season. Pre-injury, Mauricio had top-of-the-scale exit velocities and bottom-of-the-scale swing decisions, making for a very difficult evaluation. Among qualified hitters, only Salvador Perez, Eddie Rosario and Javier Baez had a higher O-Swing% than Mauricio's 42.9%, and only Ronald Acuna, Matt Olson, Shohei Ohtani and Jake Burger had a higher maxEV than Mauricio's 117.3 mph. A switch-hitting infielder who turns 23 in April, Mauricio will enter the season eligible only at second base in most formats. He only has 60th percentile sprint speed but went 7-for-7 on stolen-base attempts in the majors and 24-for-31 at Triple-A. His flyball rates at Triple-A and the majors were below 28%, so he is unlikely to get the most of his raw power without an improved launch angle. He will likely be on the 60-day injured list for at least the first few months of the season, but a return late in the year hasn't been ruled out.
Mauricio has really filled out his big 6-foot-3 frame in recent years, profiling as a switch-hitting infielder with plus power and a questionable hit tool. His swing is grooved and geared for monster impact from pole to pole, but there are holes for pitchers to exploit, and he chases much more than he should. Mauricio finished strong, slashing .283/.320/.479 with 11 home runs, a 20.3 K% and a 4.8 BB% in his final 51 games. Even when things were going well, he showed his limitations, especially in OBP leagues. He can be passable at shortstop and his plus arm would fit nicely at third base, but the Mets have a glut of options at both spots, and it seems likelier at this point that he gets traded for big-league help at another position.
Mauricio signed with the Mets for $2.1 million as a 16-year-old in July of 2017. Fast forward three years and he is still mostly projection, albeit with a lot of promising characteristics. The 6-foot-3, 166-pound shortstop should be able to stick at the position long term and evaluators continue to dream on his offensive upside, assuming he fills out his frame as expected. The switch hitter was a late arrival to the Mets' alternate training site, so he didn't get the amount of developmental reps that some of his peers got this past summer. It's easy power when he connects, especially to the pull side, but he logged a .089 ISO as one of the youngest hitters at Low-A in 2019. Again, it's still mostly about projection with Mauricio, but he hasn't fallen flat yet and his frame and pedigree still warrant optimism long term. Unfortunately, as a below-average runner, he won't be much of a threat on the bases.
Mauricio is a high-pedigree 6-foot-3 switch hitter who spent all of 2019 at Low-A and doesn't turn 19 until April. That is all extremely relevant when assessing his full-season debut and long-term prospects. He was good at using the whole field (34.5 Oppo%), but hit the ball on the ground too much (52.8 GB%) and his 20.4 Hard% was well below average. Those negatives are not surprising given his age, level and current lack of strength. He still projects to hit 25-plus home runs based on expected physical growth, swing leverage and bat speed. He was 6-for-16 on stolen-base attempts and will only get slower going forward. Mauricio has the hand/arm skills to handle shortstop, but as he fills out his well-proportioned frame he may need to move to third base. If we were creating an 18-year-old slugging shortstop in the lab, that player would look like Mauricio, but his plate skills still have a long way to go.
Still almost all projection at this point, Mauricio did as well as could have been expected (101 wRC+) as the third-youngest hitter in the GCL before a late-season promotion to the Appy League. Signed out of the Dominican Republic for $2.1 million on July 2, 2017, Mauricio is a wiry 6-foot-4, 175-pound shortstop who won’t turn 18 until April. It doesn’t take a well-trained scout to look at Mauricio, knowing his age and pedigree, and envision what he could grow into in three or four years. He has big power potential, and his 16.2 K% hints at preternatural bat-to-ball ability for a player his size. Mauricio’s arm should keep him on the left side of the infield, even if he outgrows shortstop. He is a solid runner now, but those rostering him in dynasty leagues should be banking on him slowing down and eventually becoming a major contributor in the four non-speed rotisserie categories. His ETA is 2022.
Signed a $2.1 million deal with the Mets in July of 2017.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for call-up
2BNew York Mets
May 26, 2023
The Mets could soon promote Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse to take over at second base, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
New York is hurting for offensive production in left field with Mark Canha and Tommy Pham still scuffling, and Jeff McNeil could shift to the outfield if Mauricio were brought up to cover the keystone. The 22-year-old is the organization's top prospect in the minors following the promotions of Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty earlier this season and has done all he can to showcase himself with Syracuse, posting a .970 OPS with seven homers and nine stolen bases in 48 games. Barring an injury, the Mets may need to offload a veteran piece in order to make room for Mauricio on the big-league roster.
