Rafael
Santos

Transferred to Florida Southwestern State

6/22/16- Florida Atlantic recruit, the 6-foot-3 200-pounder drove balls gap-to-gap in batting practice, while also driving a ball deep over the right field wall. Santos has a strong lower half which he utilizes well and creates a lot of bat speed. Santos has an advanced approach, with a clean simple path directly to the ball that stays in the zone. The fluid swing and advanced approach led to a double and single during the game. Defensively, Santos topped at 90 mph from the outfield with consistent low accurate throws. At first base he worked well out in front of his body with soft hands and a good feel for the bag while also showing some athleticism.
