Francisco Arcia

The Yankees signed (then) 16-year old Francisco Arcia out of Venezuela in 2006. Reportedly, they signed him for $65,000.

He’s a switch-hitter and a supposed good catch and throw guy behind the plate. He caught 47 games in the Dominican Summer League last year – and posted an OPS that was 192 points above the league average.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a million miles away from a point where we can say, for sure, that he’s a big league prospect. But, still, he’s someone worth keeping on the radar in Yankeeland, now.

Nice find here by Lin Garrett (the Yankees international scouting director).
