Eduardo Quintero Is Next In Dodgers' Line Of Star Outfield Prospects

Lurking a level below is a player who is every bit their equal and could have a chance to prove himself at High-A in short order. That would be Eduardo Quintero, the outfield dynamo who ranked as the best prospect in the Arizona Complex League last summer and has been part of championship clubs in each of his first two seasons as a pro.

After posting a .330/.459/.449 line in the ACL, Quintero found the Cal League to be a bit more challenging. With Low-A Rancho Cucamonga, the 19-year-old struggled to a .616 OPS over 27 games and put the ball on the ground at an alarming rate.

There was no doubting Quintero’s talent, but something had to change. After the season, he stuck around the Dodgers’ complex in Arizona for about three weeks, working to cut the fat out of his swing.

“We could see it improving and we could see that he was motivated to go back to Rancho and kind of prove that he he was ready, and he belonged,” Dodgers farm director Will Rhymes said. “Now he looks like one of the best players there.”

Does he ever.

Entering this week, Quintero’s name was all over the California League leaderboards. His eight home runs are tied for the league lead. His .561 slugging percentage is alone at the top, as are his 20 extra-base hits and 87 total bases. His 39 runs leave him in a three-way tie for first, and his 21 stolen bases rank third.

He is also currently in the midst of a 29-game on-base streak.

Quintero is one of three teenagers this season with 40 hits and 20 stolen bases, and his 20 extra-base hits is nine greater than the total of the other two players—Royals and Angels prospects Asbel Gonzalez and Nelson Rada—combined.

The eight home runs he’s clubbed through 38 games equal the total he’d produced in his previous 132 games. So, how’d he power up? Part of it is the natural addition of strength as he’s grown into his body. Another part involves the swing changes, which stripped away some moving parts and added a bit more loft.

“It always appeared like he was swinging down a little bit, and he would really hit some low bullets to the opposite field,” Rhymes said. “And that’s something that obviously is a great foundation, but we wanted him to be able to get behind the ball better get it off the ground some.

“I think that has been a byproduct of making the swing more efficient, as opposed to something we were going after or messaging.”

De Paula, Hope, George and Sirota all being at High-A mean there’s no room for Quintero to move just yet. And with less than 40 games into the season, there’s little reason to rush. Until then, he’ll keep working to turn the lessons he learned last year into the kind of production that tends to vault players up prospect rankings.

Amateur vs pro athletes: How an Overland Park athlete aims to bridge the gap

An Overland Park track and field runner, now attending Louisiana State University, is combining his interests to build a strong athletic community in his hometown. 20-year-old Trenton Sandler has taken it upon himself to bring the running community in the Kansas City metro together to bridge the gap between hobby-joggers and professional athletes.

An Overland Park track and field runner, now attending Louisiana State University, is combining his interests to build a strong athletic community in his hometown.

20-year-old Trenton Sandler has taken it upon himself to bring the running community in the Kansas City metro together to bridge the gap between hobby-joggers and professional athletes.

While Sandler played soccer as a kid, his special knack for running took off when he joined his high school track and field team.

“I didn’t really get into running until I was like 15 or so, right after the pandemic,” said Sandler. “I realized I had a calling for it when I ran good times my junior year of high school and started getting college offers.”

While his interest in running came later in his youth, Sandler says that videography has been a passion of his since his early childhood.

“I’ve been obsessed with making videos since I was a kid, when my parents put a little camcorder in my hand for the first time,” said Sandler. “I took a formal videography class in high school, which got me really interested in the statistical side of cameras and how to compose good shots and make cinematic videos.”

With the rise of influencers, Sandler saw an opportunity to be a voice for amateur athletes. Now, Sandler has curated over 80,000 followers across his social media platforms.

“I combined all those interests into trying to make a running YouTube channel that non-runners could relate to and to try to get past the stigmas around runners,” said Sandler.

“I wanted to try to be a normal voice in the community and make videos that are personable so that even people who don’t run can enjoy them,” he said.

A running dilemma

For Sandler, the biggest issue in the community is the discrepency between the number of people who run as a hobby compared with the number of people who actively follow the professional running scene.

That increase in runners but decrease in professional running fans puts weight on running influencers, according to Sandler.

“Professional runners often aren’t personable and don’t put themselves out there,” Sandler told the Star.

“I think it then falls into the influencers hands to try to be more personable, so the general hobby-jogging community can watch a runner that is also an influencer,” he said. “That runner can then promote the sport of running and the competitions that are just trying to bridge that gap between professional and amateur.”

What comes next

For the second year in a row, Sandler is hosting a run club for all runners in the metro.

Held at Roe Park in Overland Park on Saturday, July 12, the long distance run will begin with a meet-up at 7:30 am at 10400 Roe.

Sandler hopes to draw in a crowd of about 100 and to secure food truck vendors for following years.

ALPENA — The access driveway for Mich-e-ke-wis Park will be closed to all vehicular traffic while improvements to the park, including the installation of the new volleyball courts, are being completed.

Access to this area will be limited for the duration of the construction of the volleyball courts.

Also, the Alpena Municipal Council will vote at its next meeting on Tuesday to move forward with other proposed improvements at the park, which would include a new parking area, and a rain garden storm-water drainage, as well as pedestrian trials.

This closure will also allow for the removal of the existing gravel drive within Mich-e-ke-wis, but the park will remain open throughout the construction process, however, access to areas of the park under construction will be limited.

Construction of the volleyball courts will be completed through volunteer work provided by the Alpena Mixed Volleyball League, and as such, work will not be performed every day. The project is anticipated to take up to a month to complete.

The overall project includes a new paved parking lot and rain garden which will be installed tentatively in September as work is completed on the new clear well project at the water treatment plant.

This delay will eliminate overlapping construction operations which could damage the new road and parking area. The project is being funded through a Michigan Passport Grant, donations acquired by the Alpena Mixed Volleyball League, and the City of Alpena General Fund for a total project cost of $301,200.

Mondo Duplantis figured out a way to hack the World Athletics bonus system for world records in track and field. The greatest athlete in pole vault history has bills to pay!

He is finally willing to admit what we already knew.

Duplantis already accomplished everything there is to accomplish in track and field. His place in history is already written at the young age of 25 years old. However, there is always room to improve.

And for more money!

The current world record in pole vault is set at 6.28 meters. Duplantis actually set that mark at a Diamond League meet last month. He also set the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that, and the record before that and the record before that. 12 in a row.

Mondo Duplantis broke Renaud Lavillenie’s record at 6.17 meters in 2020. It has been a nonstop one-centimeter increase ever since. 6.18 meters, 6.19 meters, 6.20 meters, etc. All the way to 6.28.

Here is where the financial side of his world records comes into play. World Athletics grants any athlete in track and field with a $100,000 bonus when he or she breaks a world record.

Duplantis broke 12 world records over the last five+ years for a grand total of $1,200,000!

We all know what he is doing with this extremely slow build. His goal is to rack up as many world records (and paychecks) as he can, one centimeter at a time. As he should!

However, up until very recently, Duplantis had not publicly addressed his world record money hack. Tiara Williams of Real Talk With Tee finally got him to talk.

Mondo Duplantis, with a big smile on his face, directly referred to his world record progression as a “glitch” and quipped about the bills he has to pay. He has to do what he has to do. It’s good for the sport.

There’s not so many people who are making an abundance of bread in track and field so I guess that’s a good thing that I can capitalize on things.

— Mondo Duplantis

There are more centimeters to be had, slowly but surely. Every centimeter comes with a $100,000 bonus. Stay tuned!
