Jorge Quintana

Organization Prospect Rankings

• Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #15 prospect in 2024
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: For the third time in four years, the Brewers’ top international signing came from Venezuela. Following Jackson Chourio in 2021 and Luis Lara in 2022, the Brewers made Quintana the centerpiece of their class when the international signing period opened on Jan. 15, 2024.
  
  Scouting Report: Quintana was one of the most polished hitters in Latin America for 2024. He’s a switch-hitter with a fluid, easy stroke from both sides of the plate who recognizes pitches well, has good plate discipline and maneuvers the barrel well to make frequent contact. Quintana is especially advanced from the left side and has one of the better offensive track records among players eligible to sign in 2024. He makes hard contact from gap to gap with a chance for average or better power given the strength projection remaining in his 6-foot-2 frame. Quintana is a reliable defender at shortstop on the balls he gets to and should get a chance to develop at the position, though he’s a fringe-average runner and looks like he could eventually outgrow the position, with an average arm that would fit at third base.
  
  The Future: Quintana will make his pro debut this year in the Dominican Summer League and should be one of the league’s top prospects.
