Granados showcased his athleticism and defensive polish throughout the event, posting 2.01–2.12 pop times with every throw right on the tag zone at second base. Behind the plate, he displayed quick feet, strong receiving skills, and mobility, handling the position with poise. Offensively, his swing looked noticeably more fluid in live action, where he barreled a line-drive double to right field. The swing is simple and balanced, featuring good hand separation in the load and a controlled toe-tap stride that helps him stay on time. With a wiry 5-10, 163-pound frame, Granados has room to add strength, and his overall athletic profile suggests he could transition to a corner outfield spot if needed. An overall productive day for the Alta Loma product.
