Briefly

Blue Jays Nation's 2026 Pre-Season Prospect Countdown - No. 33: Elaineiker Coronado
"In 56 games with one of the two DSL teams, Coronado slashed .346/.504/.383 with no home runs in 248 plate appearances. Why such a high on-base percentage? Well, On top of a .346 batting average, Coronado walked 23% of the time as opposed to a 10.9 K%. Usually, you'd expect that K% and BB% to be the inverse. Coronado hit a whole bunch of singles, totalling 59 of the 65 hits he had last season."
"Some interesting tidbits from his scouting report note that he doesn't hit the ball hard at all, but there is projection in his frame. It's his hit tool (an eye at the plate) that makes him so interesting, with the site noting he had a contact rate of 88% while rarely chasing a ball outside the zone. Coronado is far from even being close to making an impact on the big league team,"
