Leonardo Molina - 16-Year Old OF
Molina shows the potential to be a potential five-tool player and he won’t even turn 16 years old until August 1. He ran the fastest 60 of the DPL prospects at 6.49 and has easy outfield actions and a strong throwing arm that paint him as potential above average defensive center-fielder. He has a nice and loose right-handed swing with present bat speed and good extension out front, although he tends to get out of control at times and has some swing-and-miss at present. If the bat continues to improve as he gets stronger, he has the highest ceiling among this group of DPL prospects.
