Unsigned Junior Spotlight: OF Justin Quintana
April 23, 2020
Our goal at Prep Baseball Report is to promote high school players, and give them the exposure they need to be able to play at the next level. With the 2020 high school season in limbo, we want to continue to be able to promote players, even when baseball is not being played. Over the last month, we have been spotlighting several uncommitted seniors to help them get the exposure they need to play at the next level in 2021. Starting this week, we will move on to uncommitted 2021's who will be heading into their senior summer.
Next up is uncommitted 2021 OF Justin Quintana (American Heritage). Quintana is a physical athlete at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds. He was a member of Team Florida at the 2019 PBR Future Games. Quintana is No. 77 in the PBR Florida Class of 2021 rankings.
