here\u2019s a link to check it all out<\/a>.<\/p>\nWith that out of the way, let\u2019s jump into the scouring reports on all of the signees. They are listed below in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n
Eliezer Arias Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Shortstop | B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 6\u2032 0\u2033 | Weight: 155<\/p>\n
Born: November 28, 2008<\/p>\n
A shortstop out of the Dominican Republic, Arias is a super twitchy athlete. He\u2019s long and lanky with room to fill out his frame. He has good hands and feet on the infield and shows off plus arm strength. At the plate he has a real quick bat. A little bit of a raw hitter, he could use more at-bats against more advanced pitching but shows the athleticism and tools you want to see.<\/p>\n
Daniel Burgos Scouting Report<\/p>\n
RHP | B\/T:\u00a0R\/R\u00a0| Height: 6\u2032 1\u2033\u00a0| Weight: 161<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0December 6, 2008<\/p>\n
The Venezuelan right-handed pitcher is already throwing multiple pitches. His sweeping breaking ball is his best pitch. He also throws both a 2-seam and 4-seam fastball. Burgos has a change up, too, but it\u2019s still a pitch he\u2019s working on. He\u2019s athletic, shows an effortless delivery, has starter traits, and is projectable.<\/p>\n
Jose Colina Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Outfielder | B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 6\u2032 0\u2033 | Weight: 163<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0October 29, 2008<\/p>\n
The outfielder from Venezuela has a simple and repeatable swing at the plate with good bat speed. Right now he has more gap power than home run power but as he matures he\u2019s expected to develop more pop in his bat. He\u2019s super athletic and should be able to stick in center, though he is likely to see time in the corners with some of the other center fielders in the DSL.<\/p>\n
Alexander Cuello Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Shortstop | B\/T: L\/R | Height: 5\u2032 10\u2033 | Weight: 165<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0November 29, 2008<\/p>\n
A shortstop out of the Dominican Republic, Cuello could see time all around the infield but has a shot to remain at short. He\u2019s a plus runner. At the plate he puts together good at-bats with an advanced approach and shows good pitch recognition skills. Over the last few months he\u2019s started to find home run power in his bat.<\/p>\n
Luis Delgado Scouting Report<\/p>\n
RHP | B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 5\u2032 11\u2033 | Weight: 165<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0November 19, 2008<\/p>\n
A right-handed pitcher from the Dominican Republic, Delgado has a chance to be a starter long term. He\u2019s very athletic. The fastball sits 91-92 MPH now and has been up to 94. He shows a really good change up and is developing a breaking ball. Throws plenty of strikes.<\/p>\n
Ronny Felix Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Outfielder | B\/T: L\/L\u00a0| Height: N\/A | Weight: 160<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0October 7, 2008<\/p>\n
From the Dominican Republic, Felix is more of a corner outfielder than some of the others from this signing class. His arm is currently a bit below-average, making him a better fit in left field. He currently can spray line drives to all parts of the field but as he continues to mature and get stronger he should develop some home run power.<\/p>\n
Carlos Goncalves Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Catcher | B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 5\u2032 9\u2033 | Weight: 176<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0February 14, 2009<\/p>\n
The catcher from Venezuela has a strong, compact frame. At the plate he shows a good swing and has current pull side power and he\u2019s good against a fastball. Defensively he\u2019s solid behind the plate while showing good footwork and he\u2019s got a quick transfer on his throws.<\/p>\n
Eider Gutierrez Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Outfielder| B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: N\/A\u00a0| Weight: 163<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0November 14, 2008<\/p>\n
The outfielder from Venezuela has a chance to stay in center field. He\u2019s an athletic guy who has above-average speed that he can use both in the field and on the bases. His arm strength is above-average and should play well in center or in right field if he has to slide to a corner spot. At the plate he sprays line drives to all fields and should develop more power as he fills out his frame and gets stronger.<\/p>\n
Carlos Hernandez Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Shortstop | B\/T: L\/R | Height: 6\u2032 0\u2033 | Weight: 163<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0April 11, 2009<\/p>\n
The Venezuelan infielder has a good chance to remain at shortstop long term. While he\u2019s not as fast as some other shortstops he\u2019s got a quick first step, soft hands, and quick feet that help him at the position. His arm strength is solid now but should get better as he matures and gains strength. At the plate he\u2019s a bit more hit over power, but there could be some power in the future when his frame fills out some and he adds more muscle.<\/p>\n
Gilventon Josephina Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Outfielder | B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 6\u2032 4\u2033 | Weight: 199<\/p>\n
Born: December 4, 2008<\/p>\n
A big, physical outfielder from Curacao. Josephina profiles more as a right fielder on the defensive side of things. At the plate he\u2019s still a bit raw and he needs to just get more playing time and reps against more advanced pitchers but he\u2019s got the potential to hit and with his size could really develop some power in the future.<\/p>\n
Nishentel Meyers Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Infielder| B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 5\u2032 10\u2033 | Weight: 150<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0October 12, 2008<\/p>\n
The infielder from Aruba stands out for his athleticism. Before switching to baseball he had been a tennis player. He should be able to remain on the left side of the infield where he\u2019s got plenty of arm to handle shortstop or third base. He\u2019s athletic enough to move to the outfield if needed. Over the last year he\u2019s made big strides in his physicality. He\u2019s still a bit raw and has a little bit of catching up to do with some of his peers who have more experience as baseball players.<\/p>\n
Xander Nolasco Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Catcher | B\/T: B\/R | Height: 5\u2032 11 | Weight: 165<\/p>\n
Born: September 7, 2008<\/p>\n
A switch-hitting catcher from the Dominican Republic, Nolasco\u2019s bat is currently ahead of his defense. He\u2019s got sneaky power from both sides of the plate. Defensively he shows promise but will need more reps and experience at catcher.<\/p>\n
Angel Nunez Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Outfielder | B\/T: L\/L\u00a0| Height: 5\u2032 10\u2033 | Weight: 160<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0April 7, 2009<\/p>\n
A potential 5-tool player. Nunez, born in the Dominican Republic, already shows plus to plus-plus speed and a plus arm. That speed, along with good reads and routes in center give him a chance to be a real difference maker in the outfield.<\/p>\n
At the plate he projects to hit for both average and power in the future. He is already willing to use the entire field at the plate. While he has grown into some power there\u2019s more in there as he matures and gets stronger. As mentioned above he\u2019s got big time speed and should be able to utilize it well on the bases.<\/p>\n
Diego Pacheco Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Catcher | B\/T: R\/R | Height: 5\u2032 11\u2033 | Weight: 175<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0N\/A<\/p>\n
The Venezuelan catcher sticks out for both his athleticism and his physicality. At 6\u2032 0\u2033 and 185 lbs. he\u2019s already standing out for his age, but there\u2019s room for him to fill out and get stronger as he matures. As a hitter he had a chance to hit for both average and power. His bat is ahead of his defense at this point, but he\u2019s improved as a catcher recently as he\u2019s gotten more experience. His arm stands out behind the plate. He will need to continue to develop the finer points of catching as he develops, though you can say that about just about every teenage catcher that\u2019s ever played the game.<\/p>\n
Juandy Romero Scouting Report<\/p>\n
Second Base | B\/T: L\/R | Height: 5\u2032 9\u2033 | Weight: 164<\/p>\n
Born: September 27, 2008<\/p>\n
A smaller guy out of the Dominican Republic, Romero could play all around the infield. He\u2019s got good speed, is a good bunter and can mix the two things together to pick up plenty of hits. He sprays the ball to all fields and he shows good pitch recognition and has a good approach at the plate.<\/p>\n
Jose Saldana Scouting Report<\/p>\n
RHP | B\/T: R\/R\u00a0| Height: 6\u2032 1\u2033 | Weight: 154<\/p>\n
Born:\u00a0September 26, 2009<\/p>\n
The right-handed pitcher from Panama has a chance to be a starting pitcher. He\u2019s lean and athletic with plenty of room to fill out on his 6\u2032 1\u2033 and 154 lb. frame. His fastball has been up to 92 MPH and has good spin. His curveball is inconsistent but shows 12-to-6 breaking action when it\u2019s on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Reds lined up 16 signings this week as they opened up the 2026 International Signing period.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2400],"tags":[69730,69383,5,69731,6160,535,50,4259,69732,69384,69733,69734,69735,69736,69737,69738,69739,4,69740,536,69741,69742],"class_list":["post-525045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cincinnati-reds","tag-alexander-cuello","tag-angel-nunez","tag-baseball","tag-carlos-goncalves","tag-carlos-hernandez","tag-cincinnati","tag-cincinnati-reds","tag-cincinnatireds","tag-daniel-burgos","tag-diego-pacheco","tag-eider-gutierrez","tag-eliezer-arias","tag-gilventon-josephina","tag-jose-colina","tag-jose-saldana","tag-juandy-romero","tag-luis-delgado","tag-mlb","tag-nishentel-meyers","tag-reds","tag-ronny-felix","tag-xander-nolasco"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115910624312350587","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
