Overall: Beltre has one of the better hit tools in the 2020 international class, as well as one of the most unusual backgrounds. Beltre played his travel ball in the United States, and actually had a baseball scholarship to FIU to fall back on, but the Blue Jays paid him just under $2.4 million. He's a player evaluators are very familiar with and while he lacks the projection typically associated with players his age, his present skills may be amongst the best in this international group. His swing is quick to the ball and the approach is sound. He flashes some power and while he will likely always be hit over power, there's a chance he gets to average pop. He's played all over the infield but probably fits best at second base long term.
