2012 BA's Yankees Top 10: Ravel Santana
7. Ravel Santana, of
Background: Signed for just $150,000 in November 2008, Santana hit
.322/.440/.533 in 2010 in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League,
leading it with 10 home runs. For an encore, he ranked right behind Dante
Bichette as the No. 2 prospect in the Gulf Coast League, ranking third in
the league in slugging (.568) and fourth in homers (nine) despite missing
the final two weeks after breaking his ankle in two places and damaging
ligaments on Aug. 13.
Scouting Report: Wiry, lean and athletic, Santana could wind up with
above-average or better tools across the board. His best present tool is
his arm, which rates at least a 70 and earns some 80 grades on the 20-80
scouting scale. He's at least a plus runner and he plays an above-average
center field. Santana's offensive ceiling is considerable, thanks to
excellent bat speed, strength and loft in his swing and a willingness to
use the whole field. He showed plus power as the season went along,
gaining confidence as his pitch recognition improved. He does have
problems making contact against good breaking balls, though he made
encouraging adjustments.
The Future: Santana is one level behind Mason Williams and could move to
right field if they wind up on the same roster. His recovery from his
ankle injury could complicate matters but the Yankees expect Santana will
be healed for an assignment to Staten Island in June.
