Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Edgardo Quintero set a record after reaching base for the 31st straight game with the High-A Great Lakes Loons on Saturday.
He sat tied with fellow prospect Mike Sirota and current Chicago White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas at 30 games heading into the day, and went 2-for-6 with two doubles and four RBIs on his way to making history.
Sirota’s streak also came this season, but ended when the Dodgers promoted him to Double-A Tulsa in the middle of May. The outfielder is the Dodgers’ No. 4 prospect.
Is Edgardo Quintero Living Up to the Hype?
At just 20 years old, Quintero has shot up the Dodgers’ farm and is clearly a prospect to be excited about in the future.
He has a lifetime OPS of .895 in the minors, and is yet to finish a season with a mark below .800. Quintero has two homers and 25 RBIs so far in 2026, though his OPS sits at .772. While his two home runs are fewer than many would expect, the outfielder has been crushing doubles at a much higher clip in 2026, so it’s only a matter of time before those begin sailing over the wall.
He’s still performing well above average, and has plenty of room to grown into the player many believe he will be.
What Does MLB’s Scouting Report Say About Edgardo Quintero?
The Dodgers signed Quintero out of Venezuela in 2023, originally as a catcher. They made him a center fielder after signing him due to his athleticism, and their choice has clearly paid off. MLB estimates he will be in the majors by 2028.
Quintero doesn’t grade below a 55 on the 20-80 scale on any of his five tools, and grades above average in both his run and arm tools.
“An advanced hitter for his age, Quintero has a quick right-handed stroke and rarely chases pitches out of the zone,” MLB’s scouting report reads. “He makes hard contact to all fields and is launching balls in the air more regularly as he gains strength and experience, displaying at least 25-homer potential.”
“…One of four Dodgers outfielders on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 Prospects list, Quintero is a better athlete and a bigger lock to stay in center field than Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope or Mike Sirota. He features at least plus speed and stole 101 bases at an 81 percent success rate in his first 245 pro games. He has acclimated quickly to the outfield, making good reads and taking efficient routes, and his strong, accurate arm has allowed him to record 18 assists in 170 starts in center.”
