Corona plays at the same Baylor High program in Chattanooga, Tenn., as fellow 2021 infielder Cooper Kinney, making it one of the more exciting prep infield tandems in the country. Corona is a 6-foot-2, 198-pound shortstop who has a solid tool set across the board but lacks a real carrying tool. He’s hitterish in the box thanks to impressive hands that play on the defensive side as well, with a compact bat path and some ability to manipulate the barrel. He has fringe-average power now but could grow into average power in the future. He’s a solid runner now with above-average arm strength and should be able to do enough defensively to play shortstop or third base in college, though most evaluators think his best defensive home is third base because he isn’t the twitchiest athlete in the middle of the infield. Corona can get on the mound and throw in the lower 90s, and he might get a chance to do a little bit of both if he makes it to campus at Wake Forest, but he’s a position player for MLB scouts.
