“These three prospects could develop into impact players,” said Brown. “They are strong additions to our Latin American program, as we continue to build our farm system through the draft and International signings. We are especially excited about Cuello, who projects as a quality, switch-hitting middle infielder.”

       
  The Nationals have had recent success recruiting and signing International prospects, especially from Latin American countries. They have signed eight International free agents this year, seven from the Dominican Republic and one from Venezuela . Those signings include three catchers, three infielders, one outfielder and one pitcher.

       
  The DSL Nationals went 49-15 en route to the organization’s first Dominican Summer League championship last season. Twelve players from that championship team are expected to play with Nationals’ affiliates in the United States this year.
