Saturday was a big day in the prospect world, as the 2021-22 international signing period began. That means a new class of amateur prospects became eligible to sign with MLB clubs, and while the period runs through December, much of the action usually happens on the first day.
The Oakland A’s announced seven signings this afternoon:
- OF Carlos Pacheco (Venezuela)
- C Cesar Gonzalez (Venezuela)
- 1B Kevin Dume (Dominican Republic)
- SS Bryan Andrade (Venezuela)
- LHP Derek Corro (Venezuela)
- RHP Reinaldo Saa (Venezuela)
- RHP Manuel Perez (Dominican Republic)
None of these prospects ranked in the Top 50 of this international class at MLB Pipeline, but Pacheco got some attention from Baseball America at No.
