Leo De Vries – SS
San Diego Padres

Player Info

  • No. 1 player on mlb.com’s 2024 international prospect rankings
  • Born in Azua, Dominican Republic
  • Signed with the padres at 17 years old

What They’re Saying

“He was directing, like, ‘Hey, I’m going here, I’m going there. Hey, double play.’ I was like, ‘What, how old is he?’ That really impressed me a lot. The hitting, the defense, it’s smooth. Obviously, he’s young.” – Padres infielder Xander Bogaerts

Paulino Santana – OF
Texas Rangers

Player Info

  • No. 2 player on mlb.com’s 2024 international prospect rankings
  • Signed with the Rangers at 16 years old
  • Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

What They’re Saying

 “Santana fits the mold of a five-tool player. If the 16-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, played against premier American high-school talents, it’s believed that he would line up well with the elite of the class. He has drawn comparisons to Julio Rodríguez both on and off the field.” – mlb.com

Jose Perdomo – SS
Atlanta Braves

Player Info

  • No. 3 player on mlb.com’s 2024 international prospect rankings
  • Signed with the Braves at 17 years old

What They’re Saying

“[A veteran scout] said [Perdomo] looked like a young Miguel Cabrera, and that stuck with me. I started digging into old videos and started talking to the scout that signed [Cabrera]. And, yeah, I think that is the closest, real comp for Perdomo.” – Braves director of Latin American scouting Jonathan Cruz

Fernando Cruz – SS
Chicago Cubs

  • Born in Montecristi, Dominican Republic
  • Cousin of former Cubs infielder Starlin Castro

What They’re Saying
