First, a look at last year’s hitters from the DSL…
Dashyll Tejeda, CF
2024: .304/.432/.456 in 38G
2025: .268/.376/.323 in 41G (FCL) → made 2026 Watchlist
Angel Feliz, SS
2024: .310/.381/.468 in 50G
2025: .264/.366/.358 in 53G (FCL)
.230/.307/.370 in 31G (Low-A) → made 2026 Watchlist
Manuel Cabrera, 1B/3B
2024: .265/.421/.354 in 41G
2025: .220/.322/.270 in 37G
Hector Liriano, RF
2024: .246/.352/.359 in 53G
2025: .185/.308/.277 in 24G
Angel Requena, 1B/2B
2024: .274/.351/.345 in 28G
2025: .252/.343/.303 in 44G
Two made it to Florida, one of those two made it to Fredericksburg, and the other three repeated and did worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now for last summer’s standouts:
Marconi German, 2B/SS
DOB: 9/9/07
.283/.479/.513, 8HR, 33SB, 43BB in 53G
Named by BA as a breakout candidate for 2026 and ranked #17 in the handbook, it would appear that he’s headed to Florida afer one DSL season, which is not as common as it used to be.
Nauris De La Cruz, CF
DOB: 9/4/07
.294/.448/.450, 15SB, 30BB in 39G
Ranked #28 in the 2026 BA book, a trip to West Palm Beach seems likely.
Brayan Cortesia, SS
DOB: 11/14/07
.317/.440/.358, 22SB, 25BB in 39G
Signed for $1.92M, the 17-y.o. lived up to the bonus and produced a strong DSL season
Junior Castillo, 1B
DOB: 9/11/07
.216/.396/.297, 20BB in 31G
Also spent some time at catcher, which, along with low BA and low SLG% would seem to indicate a repeat of the level.
Juan Obispo, OF
DOB: 5/9/06
.283/.336/.384 in 34G
Strong numbers, but it was also his third season in the DSL.
