Emanuel Luna

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked St. Louis Cardinals #16 prospect in 2026
  BA Grade/Risk: 60/Extreme
  
  Adjusted Grade: 40
  
  Track Record: The Cardinals signed Luna out of the Dominican Republic for $2.3 million in January 2026. He was considered one of the top outfield prospects in the Dominican Republic in the 2026 class.
  
  Scouting Report: Luna has huge raw power for his age. He’s extremely strong and can hit towering blasts out of the park during batting practice. There are some unorthodox components to his swing, so it could end up a power-over-hit offensive game, but he has a selective approach to work his walks and wait for a pitch in his hot zone. Unlike a lot of young hitters, he shows the ability to let the ball travel deeper into the hitting zone and still crush balls with authority to the opposite field. With his lean, athletic frame that has more space to fill out, Luna could grow into plus-plus raw power and become a 30-plus home run threat if everything comes together. It’s a power/speed threat as a plus runner who moves around well in center field with a chance to stay up the middle depending on what happens with his speed and athleticism as he continues to add weight.
  
  The Future: Luna will debut in the Dominican Summer League later this year and will be one of the top prospects in the DSL.
