I’m desperate for a young hitting superstar on the Phillies. Im so jealous of the Witt Jr, Acuña, Soto where they’re up super young and dominate right away. Really hope Renteria is the one for us

I think he's going to be. I really think he can debut at 19/20.

I can't beieve we have a prospect of this caliber. If this kid is who he looks to be, it's a complete franchise changer. It resets everything.

Venezuelan Winter League is a pretty high level of competition for a teenager. Looking through last year’s rosters there were only three 19 year olds playing. Renteria is still 17. Excited to see how he does.
