Eduardo Quintero

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Los Angeles Dodgers #6 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 55/Extreme.
  
  Track Record: As an amateur in Venezuela, Quintero trained as a catcher and had shown solid tools behind the dish. He also posted 60-yard dash times of quicker than 6.5 seconds, so he wound up in center field once he took the field for the first time in the Dominican Summer League in 2023. Since then, he’s been the centerpiece of championship-winning clubs in the DSL and the Arizona Complex League. He ranked as the top prospect in the ACL in 2024 and finished his second professional season in Low-A Rancho Cucamonga.
  
  Scouting Report: Quintero is gifted with a well-rounded tool set capable of producing value on both sides of the ball in near-equal measure. Scouts who saw him in Arizona reported a player with a sound approach, quality bat-to-ball skills and flashes of power that could one day make him an average slugger in the big leagues. The numbers bear out those observations. Quintero’s respective zone-miss and chase rates were 14.4% and 19.4%, and he produced a 90th percentile exit velocity of 104.8 mph. Those numbers were steady across a wide range of pitch types as well. He scuffled a bit once he reached Low-A, which the organization attributes partly to a more passive approach that was less effective against the better competition in full-season ball. Quintero ranks as the system’s best defensive outfielder, thanks in part to the plus speed that ended his days behind the plate and an above-average arm that would serve him well if his lower half were to get too thick—a mild concern raised by opposing scouts.
  
  The Future: After arriving at Low-A to end the season, Quintero should begin 2025 back in the California League. If everything goes as planned, he’ll take the next step toward a future as an above-average outfielder with a good chance to stick in center field.
