In the outfield, he showed true outfield actions with natural instincts running precise routes, to and through the baseball.

Fuentes’ feet work well running a 7.08 60 and showing the ability to move side to side in the outfield with ease.

Offensively, Fuentes displayed a solid presence in the box. He hit out of an athletic set up using a smooth load and short stride.
