Track Record: Quintero signed with the Dodgers in 2023 as a catcher but quickly shifted to center field because his speed and athleticism would have been wasted behind the plate. The move paid dividends in short order, and Quintero immediately began signaling that he was one of the system’s top talents. His exploits led to championships in the Dominican Summer and Arizona Complex leagues in each of his first two professional seasons, and he ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the ACL in 2024. Quintero’s stock continued rising in 2025, when he racked up 19 home runs and 47 stolen bases in a season split between both Class A levels. In a system chock full of talented outfielders, Quintero’s well-rounded game and high ceiling have pushed him to the top of the heap.

Scouting Report: Entering the 2025 season, there was little doubt about Quintero’s ability to make contact and get on base, but his flat swing path left his future power potential in question. He and the Dodgers tweaked his swing plane in the offseason and immediately saw results after Quintero returned to Low-A Rancho Cucamonga. He added loft to his cut without sacrificing much in the way of contact and by season’s end had more than tripled his career home run total. While Quintero’s exit velocities stayed roughly the same, getting the ball in the air more often made a huge difference. He lowered his groundball rate from 43% in 2024 to 35.5% in 2025. The raw ingredients are there. The next steps will revolve around the finer points of becoming a complete hitter before reaching the highest level. Namely, evaluators would like to see Quintero learn the ideal times to deploy his best swings and when the wiser play would be to take what the pitcher gives him and aim for contact over impact. Other scouts would like to see Quintero take a more direct stride to the pitcher in order to allow himself as much plate coverage as possible. The 113 games Quintero played in 2025 was the highest total of his career, and he’ll need to pack on a bit more strength to be as fresh as possible during the season’s final months. Defensively, Quintero is the likeliest of the system’s top-tier outfielders to stick in center field. He uses above-average speed to patrol all sectors of the grass fairly easily, and his above-average arm would still be useful if he had to move to a corner in deference to a better defender up the middle.

The Future: Given the glut of outfielders in the Dodgers’ system and the organization’s unlimited checkbook, Quintero will have to continue proving himself at every stop if he wants to be part of the club’s long-term future. He will likely start back at High-A in 2026 but should get to the upper levels in short order. If everything clicks, he could be an everyday center fielder who provides value on both sides of the ball.

BA Grade/Risk: 55/Extreme.

Track Record: As an amateur in Venezuela, Quintero trained as a catcher and had shown solid tools behind the dish. He also posted 60-yard dash times of quicker than 6.5 seconds, so he wound up in center field once he took the field for the first time in the Dominican Summer League in 2023. Since then, he’s been the centerpiece of championship-winning clubs in the DSL and the Arizona Complex League. He ranked as the top prospect in the ACL in 2024 and finished his second professional season in Low-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Scouting Report: Quintero is gifted with a well-rounded tool set capable of producing value on both sides of the ball in near-equal measure. Scouts who saw him in Arizona reported a player with a sound approach, quality bat-to-ball skills and flashes of power that could one day make him an average slugger in the big leagues. The numbers bear out those observations. Quintero’s respective zone-miss and chase rates were 14.4% and 19.4%, and he produced a 90th percentile exit velocity of 104.8 mph. Those numbers were steady across a wide range of pitch types as well. He scuffled a bit once he reached Low-A, which the organization attributes partly to a more passive approach that was less effective against the better competition in full-season ball. Quintero ranks as the system’s best defensive outfielder, thanks in part to the plus speed that ended his days behind the plate and an above-average arm that would serve him well if his lower half were to get too thick—a mild concern raised by opposing scouts.

The Future: After arriving at Low-A to end the season, Quintero should begin 2025 back in the California League. If everything goes as planned, he’ll take the next step toward a future as an above-average outfielder with a good chance to stick in center field.
