Here’s what Baseball America wrote about Beltran when he signed this January :
“Nolan Beltran, SS, Colombia: Beltran is from Colombia but trained in the Dominican Republic, where he stood out for his offensive upside from the left side of the plate. He has grown to around 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, evolving from more of a line-drive hitter into a player starting to drive the ball for damage to his pull side with impressive exit velocities for his age. He has a chance to stick at shortstop, too, with quick feet, good hands and an average arm.”
