“Diego Frontado received the largest bonus of anyone in the Brewers’ 2026 international class at $1.6 million and has an assortment of tools that give him a chance to become the next Milwaukee player to see his stock soar in the Dominican Summer League,” Hogg wrote. “Presently, Frontado checks the boxes of contact, running and defense, but the Brewers are also excited to see how he grows into power. Frontado, a native of the Dominican Republic before moving to Venezuela to attend an academy a few years ago, is a ballplayer by definition with baseball instincts and aptitude far beyond the average 17 year old.”<\/p>\n

At the time of the signing, Frontado was seen as a huge addition. A few months later, nothing has changed.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old shortstop has true five-tool potential. There’s not a weak spot in his game, even as a teenager. He’s able to hit for average and power while being an excellent athlete.<\/p>\n
Given the fact that he’s still a teenager and reportedly weighs under 200 pounds, there’s plenty of room to grow, develop, and get stronger over the next few years. If he can pack on muscle the right way, he could be a legit star waiting in the wings of Milwaukee’s farm system. It will be very interesting to see how his first season of rookie ball goes.<\/p>\n
