Analysis
The recipient of a $1.5 million bonus on Jan. 15, Beltre showcased significant power in his pro debut while also keeping his strikeouts somewhat in check. Beltre saw time at all three outfield spots, but the expectation is that the 17-year-old will end up in a corner spot as he slows down and fills out, thanks to his above-average throwing arm.
