Juan, 16, is MLB.com's No. 7 international OF prospect. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound right-handed hitter and thrower received high praise in a scouting report by MLB.com.

"Simon has five-tool potential and a chance to be a special player if he continues to grow and develop at a normal pace," Juan's evaluation says. "Two of his most recent comps are two of the most athletic players in the game today. Think: A young George Springer and a young Byron Buxton.

" ... His power is already noteworthy, and he appears to have all of the skills to stay in center field as he makes his way through the Minor Leagues."
