Beltre was signed as part of the 2010 international class, which also brought Jarlin Garcia. Beltre's talent has intrigued the organization for years, but injuries--including Tommy John surgery, which wiped out 2015--had slowed his progress. Healthy (for the most part) in 2016, Beltre showed his plus arm strength, hitting 100 mph in his final outing of the season and sitting 95-97 mph most of the season. In addition to his plus velocity, Beltre can command his three pitches--breaking ball and changeup--and profiles as a high-leverage reliever, one who could potentially ascend quickly if healthy. But his injuries are a major red flag, and he missed a month in 2016 as well. The Marlins decided not to protect him in the Rule 5 draft, even after re-signing him once he became a six-year free agent. After passing through the draft unselected, he gets to be a Jumbo Shrimp, as he should open 2017 at Double-A Jacksonville.
