Track Record: Along with righthander Andry Lara, Quintana was one of the Nationals' key targets in the 2019 international class. He signed for $820,000. He participated in instructional league after the canceled 2020 season and impressed, but he didn't play much in 2021 because of two hamstring tears. Quintana played just seven games in 2021. Finally healthy, he was a Florida Complex League all-star in 2022.
Scouting Report: Quintana will sink or swim based on how much he hits. He has plus raw power and got to some of it in games in 2022, hitting five homers in 50 games. He makes pretty good in-zone contact but needs to cut down his chase rate to become even an average hitter. As fills out, Quitnana's average speed will likely slow even more. However, it is worth watching his development after the hamstring injuries. At the plate, Quintana will need to be more aggressive and tap into the plus power and strength he has added. He has only played right field as a pro and will likely stick there as a capable defender.
The Future: Quintana projects as one of the most exciting young hitters in the system, but he needs a lot more reps. He signed in 2019 but has just 57 games under his belt and would benefit from a full season at Low-A. He has shown the Nationals glimpses of ability. They hope to see a breakout in 2023.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 45 Power: 55. Speed: 45 Fielding: 50 Arm: 50 -
Track Record: Quintana signed with the Nationals for $820,000 in 2019, and although his debut was delayed by the pandemic, he impressed in instructional league late in 2020. He got on the field in 2021 in the Florida Complex League, but a hamstring injury kept him out of action from early July to early September. He ended up with just 13 at-bats for the season, but he managed three extra-base hits in that small window, two doubles and a home run.
Scouting Report: Quintana’s bat stands out. He has good feel to hit, keeps his barrel in the zone for a long time, and in a testament to the way he has developed his body since signing, plus raw power to all fields from a sturdy frame. He has impressive plate discipline for a player of his age, but at times he’s too passive at the plate for a player of his strength. Defensively, Quintana is likely a corner outfielder in the future.
The Future: Health is paramount for Quintana as he goes into the 2022 season after he missed time at instructs in 2020 and just about all of the 2021 season. In a small sample, he’s shown to be one of the most exciting young hitters in the system, but he just hasn’t had many chances yet.

TRACK RECORD: Quintana signed with the Nationals for $820,000 out of Venezuela during the 2019 international signing period. His expected pro debut in 2020 was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, but he impressed Nationals officials at instructional league, including hitting a home run off Seth Romero in live batting practice.
SCOUTING REPORT: Quintana has gained so much strength since signing that his build has been compared to a young Yasiel Puig. His bat will be his carrying tool. He already shows an aptitude for laying off breaking balls out of the strike zone and keeping his lower half stable. He has a feel to hit and legitimate plus power potential. Quintana stays through the ball and drives pitches to right-center field. A leg injury kept him out for part of instructional league, but he was healthy by the end of camp and consistently getting into a good hitting position. As he matures, Quintana will likely move from center field to right field.
THE FUTURE: The Nationals think Quintana is primed for a breakout in 2021. He'll make his pro debut in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League.
