This is a very early look at the players available starting on July 2nd. While there are surely more players that will sign than this, these are the players that I am aware of and what I have seen of them. I will likely have another article with more information about these guys as I learn more, this is just something to whet the appetite a little.
| Rank | Name | Pos. | City | Birthday | Bats | Throws | Height | Weight |
| 1 | Gustavo Cabrera | OF | La Romana, DR | 1/23/1996 | Right | Right | 6'2" | 190 |
| Speedy with pop in the bat. Good arm, bit of a funky swing but very, very good prospect. Will likely get the largest bonus of the year. | ||||||||
| 2 | Frandi Delarosa | SS | Comendador, DR | 1/24/1996 | Both | Right | 6'1" | 180 |
| Huge ceiling. Good actions up the middle will be plus at 3B or really good at SS. Bat will play at corners. Enormous potential if he can stick at SS. | ||||||||
| 3 | Luis Torrens | 3B | 5/2/1996 | R | R | 6' | 171 | |
| Very good defensively. Solid bat with a lot of offensive potential. | ||||||||
| 4 | Jairo Beras | OF | 12/25/1995 | |||||
| Somewhat awkward in the field. A lot of moving parts in his swing but huge power potential. | ||||||||
| 5 | Wendell Rijo | SS | La Romana, DR | 9/4/1995 | Right | Right | 5'11" | 170 |
| Carries himself well on the field. Knows how to play the game. Player more than tools. | ||||||||
| 6 | Alexander Palma | OF | 10/18/1995 | R | R | 6' | 200 | |
| Smooth swing, good power potential. Solid defensively. One of the more polished players in this years crop. | ||||||||
| 7 | Nathanael Javier | 3B | Santo Domingo, DR | 10/10/1995 | R | Right | 6'3" | 185 |
| Nice swing, athletic. Has a few bad habits defensively. Could be very good all around player. | ||||||||
| 8 | Amaurys Minier | 3B | San Cristobal, DR | 1/30/1996 | Both | Right | 6'2" | 190 |
| Quick bat creates power. Not sold on the contact ability. Good defense at 3B. | ||||||||
| 9 | Kelyn Jose | P | Nagua, DR | 5/19/1995 | L | L | 6'4" | 185 |
| Big velocity on the lefty. Needs a ton of work but very high ceiling. | ||||||||
| 10 | Yancarlos Baez | SS | San Cristobal, DR | 9/21/1995 | 6'2" | 165 | ||
| The best defensive outfielder of the class has room to grow at the plate and could be an average or better CF. | ||||||||
| 11 | Deivy Grullon | C | Bonao, DR | 2/17/1996 | Right | Right | 6' | 180 |
| Better defensively than offensively. Bat has potential. If he can hit .26 with 15 homers, he could be a top 15 MLB catcher. | ||||||||
| 12 | Luis Barrera | OF | Tamboril, DR | 11/15/1995 | Left | Left | 6'1" | 180 |
| RAW. He has a lot of potential with the bat but is RAW in all parts of his game. Just awkward defensively. Swings out of his shoes. | ||||||||
| 13 | Jose Pujols | OF | Santo Domingo, DR | 9/29/1995 | Right | Right | 6'3" | 175 |
| Big athletic RF with good arm and range. Plus bat speed will create power but will swing and miss a lot with current swing. | ||||||||
| 14 | Ronny Carvajal | OF | Bani, DR | 10/9/1995 | Right | Right | 6'3" | 180 |
| Will grow into a monster. Should add 4-5 LBS in a few years in the states. Who knows what that will do to him. Power will be his game. | ||||||||
| 15 | Jose Mujica | P | 6/29/1996 | R | R | 6'2 | 180 | |
| Good arm action. Nice movement on fastball. Not sure about the rest. | ||||||||
| 16 | Branly Crisotomo | P | 10/25/1994 | R | R | 6'1 | 180 | |
| Polished for a Dominican, he only hits upper 8's on the gun. Need to see what happens before expecting a lot. | ||||||||
| 17 | Julo De La Cruz | 3B | Yamasa, DR | 10/5/1995 | Right | Right | 6'1" | 190 |
| Average defensively at 3B. Bat may be light for that spot but he has bat speed and could improve to show more power. | ||||||||
| 18 | Felix Suarez | SS | Santo Domingo, DR | 1/9/1996 | Right | Right | 6'1" | 175 |
| Suarez has solid actions up the middle and could end up as a reliable SS with a solid bat. | ||||||||
| 19 | Euri Minaya | OF | 10/11/1995 | R | R | 6'4" | 202 | |
| Has one swing and the ball needs to find his bat. Needs a lot of AB's but could pay off if he can figure things out. | ||||||||
| 20 | Juan Carlos Arias | 1B/3B | r | r | 6'3" | 199 | ||
| Big raw power but will likely need to really hit with future 1b profile. | ||||||||
| 21 | Richard Urena | SS | SF Macoris, DR | 1/26/1996 | Left | Right | 6'1" | 160 |
| More of a slap hitter than anything. Looks like a solid ss defensively. | ||||||||
| 22 | Leury Vargas | 1B | 8/30/1996 | Left | Right | 6'3" | 210 | |
| Massive kid and not overly athletic. Bat plays well and will have to play really well because he is a 1B all the way. | ||||||||
| 23 | Joel Gonzalez | C | San Cristobal, DR | 8/1/1996 | R | R | 6'1" | 175 |
| Very good defensively. Will need to see what the bat does. | ||||||||
| 24 | Franklin Barreto | SS | 2/27/1996 | Right | R | 5'9 | 174 | |
| ok bat, ok at short. Looks like a utility guy or a 2nd tier 2B at best. | ||||||||
| 25 | Luis Castro | 3b | 9/19/1995 | R | R | 6'1" | 187 | |
| Future 3B. Not a fan of the bat at this point. | ||||||||
| 26 | Jose Castillo | p | 1/10/1996 | L | L | 6'4 | 199 | |
| Poor mechanics and upper 8's fastball. Will need work to get anywhere. | ||||||||
| 27 | Juan Uribe | P | ||||||
| 28 | Ignacio Valdez | OF | 7/16/1995 | 6'3" | 185 | |||
| 29 | Joaquin DelaCruz | 3B | Santo Domingo, DR | 10/13/1995 | Right | Right | 6'3" | 170 |
