Switch-hitting shortstop Quintana is a tall, athletic infielder with good bat-to-ball skills from both sides of the plate. Scouts have noted that his game is very polished -- on offense and defense -- especially for someone his age. He will improve on all facets of his game when he signs with a team and is placed in the club’s academy.
Quintana has a knack for hitting the ball into the gaps with authority with flashes of home run power. His overall strength is expected to improve as he matures and his body develops. Defensively, he is a twitchy athlete with the quickness needed to remain at shortstop. He has been praised for his work ethic and makeup.
Quintana trains in Venezuela with Andres Mujica, a member of MLB’s Trainer Partnership Program.

The Brewers have had great success with their top signings from the international scene in recent years. Jackson Chourio (2021) was one of the breakout stars of the 2022 season and just set a record for the largest contract signed by a player with no MLB service time. Luis Lara (2022) similarly skipped the Arizona Complex League in his second full season and reached High-A at 18. Yophery Rodriguez (2023) was one of the Dominican Summer League’s best all-around players last summer. Next up could be Quintana, who joined Milwaukee for $1.7 million in January.
Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 12 prospect in this year’s international class, the 6-foot-2 switch-hitter impressed scouts with his all-around polish, especially at the plate. He has good bat-to-ball skills from both sides, and while the power mostly plays to the gaps at this early stage, there’s room for projection and eventual average pop once he matures physically.
Quintana might be just an average runner in the end, but the 6-foot-2 shortstop has enough quickness and arm strength to get a long look at shortstop. Should he need to move, the bat should be valuable anywhere, though. Milwaukee scouts Quintana’s native Venezuela -- which Chourio and Lara also call home -- as well as any other organization in baseball and now has a chance to develop its most recent big signing into a well-rounded player at a premium position.
