Overview
Feliz was one of the Pirates’ top signings for the 2023-24 international signing period. He’s a defense-oriented player who’s expected to be able to stay at short. He’s agile with good hands and enough arm strength, and the ability to make highlight-reel plays. At the plate he has a good approach, but may be limited to gap power.
2024
Feliz played mostly short and some second in his DSL debut. He had six errors in 30 games at short, which for that level is a fairly low total. He didn’t hit much and showed no power, batting 206/306/230 with a 23% K rate. He improved steadily after a rough .376 OPS in June.
