2024 Fantasy Outlook
De Los Santos has been mediocre in 123 games at Double-A (.253/.300/.426) while being extremely young for the level. The power-hitting corner infielder generates impressive exit velocities and hit 20 homers in 113 games last season, but his 0.20 BB/K portends significant struggles at the highest level. His readiness will be tested after Cleveland selected him in the Rule 5 draft and stole him from Arizona, at least for now. If he does not look capable in spring training of providing any value at the big-league level, the Guardians would likely return him to Arizona, but they may be able to find a short-side platoon role for De Los Santos in 2024, and if they keep him on the active roster all season they can send him back to the minors in 2025. In addition to an over-aggressive approach, De Los Santos has been a notoriously poor defender to date, which is partly why Arizona didn't protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He doesn't turn 21 until June and would likely be limited to designated hitter and some first base work if he spends the year on Cleveland's active roster. Read Past Outlooks

Strong start at Amarillo
De Los Santos was named the Texas League Player of the Month for April after leading the circuit with 32 hits, seven home runs and 58 total bases for Double-Amarillo, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
De Los Santos spent the spring with the Guardians, who selected him in the Rule 5 draft, but he did not make Cleveland's roster. The 20-year-old native of the Dominican Republic picked up at Amarillo where he left off in 2023. De Los Santos was added to the development list in 2023 following a rough start, but he crushed Double-A pitching in the second half of the season, posting a .322/.340/.596 line after July 14. The power-hitting prospect made strides at the plate while with the Guardians, developing a more "major league approach," according to Amarillo manager Tim Bogar, who feels the experience in a major league spring training camp was helpful. To become a well-rounded prospect, De Los Santos needs to work on his defense. He played both third and first base since being signed as a 16-year-old, but the organization plans to limit him to first base only going forward.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The pros and cons with De Los Santos are pretty straightforward. Nobody his age can hit the ball harder, and few players his age (doesn't turn 20 until June) have played at Double-A or the Arizona Fall League. On the flip side, he might be on track to be a shorter (6-foot-1) Miguel Sano. Defensively, De Los Santos is limited to being a bad first baseman or a designated hitter. His pitch recognition is poor and ability to make contact is fringe-average. If he is given a pitch to drive, he can hit it a really long way, but pitchers with craft and an ability to command offspeed pitches will eat him up. There's a decent case to be made for cashing him out in dynasty leagues this offseason, as it's very possible he scuffles in a return trip to Double-A and loses most of his value.
