DrB's 2020 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #34 Rayner Santana

Rayner Santana C.  DOB:  8/5/2002.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 180 lbs.

Rookie(DSL):  .294/.439/.553, 14 2B, 10 HR, 17.3 BB%, 27.1 K%, GB/FB= 0.84, 214 PA.

I generally don't rank DSL players and instead put them in their own category, Dominican Dandies.  I've had to re-think that with 2 players, Luis Matos and Victor Bericoto getting a late-season promotion to Arizona.   Here's another kid who captured my imagination by playing all but the last 2 weeks of the season at age 16.  Power?  10 HR's is a lot for the DSL or any short season league.  Check!  Plate discipline?  The BB% is high for any league, astronomical for the DSL where they say you can't walk off the island.  Check!  Launch angle?  Any GB/FB less than 1 is outstanding.  Check!  I don't know anything more than that and don't know if the Giants plan to bring him to Arizona for his age 17 season, but based on the numbers, they should.

PS:  Found a few photos online.  He looks very athletic and well proportioned physically.  No videos to report on.
