Jorge Luis Barrosa (born February 17, 2001) is a Venezuelan professional baseball outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Career[edit]
Barrosa signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as an international free agent in July 2017. He made his professional debut in 2018, appearing in 68 games for Arizona’s rookie-level affiliates. In 2019, Barrosa spent the year with the Low-A Hillsboro Hops, slashing .251/.335/.336 with one home run, 26 RBI, and 8 stolen bases.
Barrosa did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] He spent the 2021 season with High-A Hillsboro and the Single-A Visalia Rawhide, hitting a cumulative .285/.353/.422 with 7 home runs, 37 RBI, and 29 stolen bases across 96 games. In 2022, Barrosa played in 120 games split between Hillsboro and the Double-A Amarillo Sod Poodles, batting .279/.372/.439 with 26 stolen bases and career-highs in home runs (13) and RBI (57).
On November 15, 2022, the Diamondbacks added Barrosa to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[2] After suffering a hamstring strain in spring training, Barrosa was optioned to the Triple-A Reno Aces to begin the 2023 season.[3] In 120 games for Reno, he hit .274/.394/.456 with 13 home runs, 65 RBI, and 15 stolen bases.
Barrosa was again optioned to Triple–A Reno to begin the 2024 season.[4] After two games for Reno, Barrosa was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[5]
