The 2024 international signing period will open on January 15 and the Oakland Athletics are expected to sign three of the top 50 prospects according to Baseball America. The Athletics have been linked to outfielder Jeremy Denaud and shortstop Edgar Montero from the Dominican Republic, along with outfielder Jose Ramos who is from Venezuela.
Denaud is ranked 32nd on Baseball America’s list and has plenty of power potential although some adjustments may need to be made.
Denaud stood out early on for his athletic frame and power potential. Some scouts like his hitting ability, while others thought he got pull-happy and would need to make adjustments to make more contact against live pitching with a power-over-hit profile.
