Organization Prospect Rankings
TRACK RECORD: Santana got off to a hot start in pro ball after signing with the Reds for $70,000 during the 2016 international signing period. He excelled in the Dominican Summer League and was making strides in his second year in the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2019, but a nagging hip issue limited him to just 25 games.
SCOUTING REPORT: Santana is extremely raw but has shown he can hit. He has plus bat speed and a loose, whippy swing, but he does chase outside of the zone. His hit tool projects as above-average and shows growing power, which could be plus as he matures. Santana is gifted with a strong throwing arm that has natural carry, but his fringe-average glove may force him to move across the diamond from third base to first base.
THE FUTURE: While he is raw, Santana has considerable upside to his offensive game. He's a long way away, but has a chance to emerge as a bat-first regular.
