View Draft Report
The son of former major leaguer Jose Valentin, Yomar Valentin starred for the Puerto Rican team that reached the Little League World Series in 2010. Valentin is listed at 5-foot-7, 155 pounds, but plays above his size and earns praise for his makeup. He is a switch-hitter with quick hands that help him produce more power than his size would suggest. That's unlikely to be a big part of his game at the next level, however. He has a good feel for the barrel and enough speed to fit at the top of the order. Valentin has good instincts and actions in the infield. He is committed to Auburn.
