Rangers' Paulino Santana: Everything except power in DSL
Rotowire
Santana is slashing .292/.468/.377 with zero home runs and 15 steals in 29 games in the Dominican Summer League.
Santana's approach and command of the strike zone look very good on paper (21.3-percent walk rate, 16.3-percent strikeout rate) for a high-pedigree 17-year-old in the DSL, and his speed on the bases has been as advertised. However, his lack of power in a very hitter-friendly league does not match preseason expectations. It's tough to say whether he's being more patient or passive, but he's been pulling the ball (54.4 Pull%) and doing an OK job getting the ball in the air (43.0 GB%) so it's possible something starts to click in the power department sooner than later.
