In what was a breakout performance for the Bakersfield based product Quintero used the showcase workout to announce his presence before shining throughout the gameplay portion. The shortstops defensive workout was one of the most impressive of the day with clean, smooth actions that have a natural grace to them while putting 85 MPH INF velocity throws right on the 1Bs chest from all different angles/arm slots. A loose mover all over he clocked a present 7.3 range 60 time which will improve as he adds strength to his lengthy 6' 147 lbs. frame that has grace in everything he does on the baseball field. His batting practice was impressive for the simplicity and consistency of his operation while producing intriguing present metrics. The RH hitter has a smooth swing with present hand speed and bat speed (21.4 MPH hand speed and 70.1 MPH bat speed) while a natural feel for being on time with his barrel at contact. Quintero posted a max exit velocity up to 95.6 MPH while averaging 90.1 MPH throughout his round with a 67% hard hit rate and a 349' max distance. The well rounded profile for Quintero is intriguing not just for its present performance during the workout, but even more so for the upside it presents as he fills his frame out with strength.
