Paulino Santana
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Santana remains a young, physically projectable outfielder whose 2026 rebound keeps him relevant after a difficult 2025 adjustment period. The likely path is continued development in the lower minors centered on shortening the swing, improving contact against velocity and spin, and proving that the improved walk rate is sustainable rather than a small-sample fluctuation. His ceiling is a second-division corner-outfield regular if the hit tool reaches average and the power plays in games; the more conservative floor is a left-field depth or up-and-down profile if the strikeouts remain high and the defensive reads do not progress.
