Brayan Altuve

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago Cubs #24 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: Altuve was the third of the Cubs three premier international signings in the 2019 cycle, joining fellow catcher Ronnier Quintero and shortstop Kevin Made. Altuve, who trained in Venezuela with Carlos Azocar, was lauded for his mix of athleticism and tools.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Altuve's athleticism jumps off the page, and not just for a catcher. He turned in plus run times in the 60-yard dash, although he's likely to see his speed wane as he gets older and catching takes its toll. Altuve has plus bat speed and can impact the ball thanks to a combination of strength and a swing with natural lift. Like most younger players, Altuve will overswing and has a bit of a pull-heavy approach. He has a solid-average arm behind the plate, and the athletic ability to become a solid blocker and receiver.
  
  THE FUTURE: After signing late, Altuve should spend his first pro season in the Dominican Summer League. He has the ceiling of an everyday catcher.
