Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Texas Rangers #11 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 55/Extreme
  
  Track Record: Santana is not only the top player in the Rangers’ class, he’s one of the biggest up-arrow prospects overall. He was signed for $1.3 million as part of the group Texas added in the most recent international class, which opened Jan. 15, 2024.
  
  Scouting Report: Santana is strong and lithe with enough athleticism and should stick in center field. At the plate, he has quick hands, puts together mature at-bats, recognizes spin well and has a strong record of in-game performance. He can shoot balls to the opposite-field gap and pull them over the fence as well with a swing that appears nearly effortless. He has plus speed.
  
  The Future: Santana will begin his career in the DSL, but the Rangers in past years have shown a willingness to move players aggressively if their performance warrants such a move.
