Track Record: The son of Twins’ scout Jose Leon, Santiago Leon has grown up around the game and it shows, as he has a high baseball IQ.
Scouting Report: Leon is one of the better pure hitters in the international class, as he has shown the ability to remain very consistent at the plate, making pitchers work at-bat after at-bat. He sees the ball well and uses the entire field. His power is well-below-average for now, but he does have the potential to add more strength. Defensively, he’ll start at shortstop, but he may ened up at second or third base, as he’ll likely be usurped by someone twitchier and rangier as he moves through the farm system.
The Future: The Twins have a loaded international class, which means Leon should be part of a talented Twins’ DSL club.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 30 | Run: 50 | Field: 45 | Arm: 50.
