Victor Hurtado

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Washington Nationals #12 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: The Nationals made Hurtado their top signing of their 2024 international class when the signing period opened on January 15, banking on his high-end strength projection and offensive upside for a $2.7 million bonus.
  
  Scouting Report: Hurtado immediately draws attention for his long, lean 6-foot-3 frame. Scouts highest on Hurtado have praised both his hitting ability and power. He has a long wingspan with a sound, easy swing for his size, generating loft with good extension and leverage to drive the ball well from left-center field over to his pull side. He flashes over-the-fence power now and should grow into plus raw power with a chance for more given the way he’s trending physically. Hurtado is athletic for his size and should slot into a corner outfield spot.
  
  The Future: Hurtado immediately becomes one of the highest upside prospects in the lower levels of the Nationals’ system. He will make his pro debut in 2024, most likely in the Dominican Summer League.
