Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Quintero caught the Cubs' eye early because of his easy power from the left side. He was one of the team's three major signings during the 2019-20 period—along with shortstop Kevin Made and late-addition catcher Brayan Altuve.

SCOUTING REPORT: Despite not playing in an official game, Quintero has already opened eyes with his new organization. He was one of the stars of the team's Dominican instructional league program, posting exit velocities that ranked among the best of the entire camp. He gets to his power through a combination of strength and a swing with natural lift. Quintero has shown an ability to drive balls the opposite way as well. He turns on high-velocity fastballs and can recognize spin as well. Quintero's got a potential plus arm behind the plate and could become an average defender with further refinement, especially when it comes to receiving pitches.

THE FUTURE: Quintero's first official season as a pro will be in 2020, and he should begin in extended spring training. He projects as an offensive-minded catcher.

Scouting Reports

TRACK RECORD: Quintero stood out from the time he was 15 in Venezuela and emerged as the top catching prospect in the 2019 international class. He trained in the Dominican Republic and signed with the Cubs for $2.9 million, a franchise-record bonus for an international amateur.

SCOUTING REPORT: Quintero is a big, lefthanded power hitter. He has a quick, impactful swing and lifts the ball to produce hard contact from right field to left-center. He keeps his swing short for a power hitter and stays inside the ball to drive it the other way when needed. Quintero projects to hit for both power and average, but his future defensive home is less certain. The Cubs believe he can remain a catcher. Others are less sure because of questions about his receiving. His plus arm will play at any position.

THE FUTURE: Quintero will make his professional debut in 2021. He has a chance to be a catcher who hits in the middle of a lineup, but is many years away.
