Track Record: Ozuna was signed later in the 2023 international period, inking for $45,000 just prior to the beginning of the 2023 Dominican Summer League season. He debuted three days after signing and made 13 appearances for the DSL Rockies in 2023. Ozuna moved stateside for 2024 and made 10 appearances with the Rockies’ Arizona Complex League affiliate, where he was among the standouts on a talented ACL Rockies club, posting a 3-0 record with a 4.14 ERA and 45 strikeouts to 11 walks across 37 innings. Ozuna ranked as the seventh-best prospect in the ACL following the 2024 season.
Scouting Report: Ozuna is a young projectable righthander with a prototypical build and present command. He stands 6-foot-3 with a long-limbed body that could add good weight in the coming years. Ozuna has a smooth and athletic operation with a whippy arm that delivers the ball from a higher three-quarters slot. His arm action is longer but Ozuna stays on time and keeps the ball fairly well hidden. He mixes a four-seam fastball with fringy ride and some cut sitting 93-96 mph and touching 97 mph at peak. He’s potentially a candidate to pick up a sinker in the future due to his lower spin efficiency profile. His low-to-mid-80s gyro slider generated a 21.4% swinging-strike rate. Ozuna’s third pitch is a firm, higher-80s changeup for which he shows below-average feel.
The Future: Ozuna is a young projectable righthander with above-average command of his fastball and slider, but needed development of a third pitch. He has a chance to develop into a No. 4 starter.
