Vaquero

Vaquero, MLB Pipeline’s second-ranked international prospect in the signing class, received a franchise-record $4.925 million signing bonus last month. The dynamic 17-year-old switch-hitting Cuban outfielder is a phenomenal athlete and projects as a potential five-category impact fantasy contributor in a few years. He’s one of the most exciting prospects in the game, but it’s going to take awhile for him to reach the majors.

The deal is now official. Vaquero, the second-ranked international prospect in the entire signing class, according to MLB Pipeline, will receive a franchise-record $4.925 million signing bonus from the Nationals. The 17-year-old switch-hitting outfielder is an incredible athlete and has the potential to develop into a five-category impact fantasy contributor in the future. He should be on fantasy managers’ radar screens, especially in keeper and dynasty league formats.

The second-ranked international prospect in the signing class, according to MLB Pipeline, Vaquero figures to be a cornerstone in the Nationals’ rebuilding effort. The 17-year-old outfielder, who picked up switch-hitting after leaving Cuba, is a phenomenal athlete and already possesses a ton of raw power. He’s one of the most exciting prospects in the game and has the potential to develop into a five-tool center fielder. Simply put, Vaquero should be on the radar screens of fantasy managers in keeper and dynasty league formats.

Vaquero, also known as “The Phenomenon,” is a dynamic switch-hitting centerfielder with a strong arm, plus speed, and a ton of projectable power. The 17-year-old was ranked as the second-best international prospect in this class according to MLB Pipeline, behind only Yankees shortstop Roderick Arias.
