Yeison Santana

Santana signed with the Padres during the 2017 J-2 period for $300,000. In two seasons at rookie ball, he's posted 125 and 150 wRC+ marks, respectively. Though he didn't get any official work in during the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Santana recently made the news as part of the return in the Yu Darvish deal. Now part of a Cubs farm system that's trending up, scouts believe Santana has both the arm and fielding ability to stick at shortstop long-term. At the dish, Santana has a strong contact profile that should limit his strikeouts as he rises levels. Entering his age-20 season, Santana still has room to fill out his current 170-pound frame with strength to add more power to his game. Santana has steadily moved up prospect rankings thanks to his hit tool and above-average speed. The typical caveats apply to a young prospect still a few seasons from the big leagues.
