2024 Fantasy Outlook
A Grade 2 hamstring strain suffered in June prevented Celesten from making his official pro debut in 2023, although he recovered in time to play in the fall instructional league. Known for his loud tools and athleticism, Celesten was arguably the top overall player to sign in the 2023 Jan. 15 international signing class, garnering a $4.7 million bonus out of the Dominican Republic. Given the missed time, we won't have any clarity on the quality of his hit tool until he plays in the Arizona Complex League this summer as an 18-year-old. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound shortstop has plus speed and projects for plus raw power, with his hit tool lagging behind. He should be able to stick at shortstop, so if he hits, he'll quickly establish himself as one of the more exciting teenage prospects in the game, but it's possible he will strike out enough to be droppable in some formats.

Close to game action
Celesten (hamstring) is nearing a return to game action in a "bridge league" between the Arizona Complex League and instructional league, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Celesten has been sidelined since June due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Any at-bats the young shortstop can fit in before the end of the year would certainly be an added bonus, although the stats in the bridge league won't be officially tracked.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Padres catcher Ethan Salas is seen as the top real-life prospect in this year's J-15 international signing class, due to the safety of his hit tool and his catcher defense, but Celesten is the most appealing fantasy prospect in the class. The 17-year-old Dominican shortstop has plus speed and plus raw power, and scouts believe the switch hitter can stick at the six. The big question will be whether Celesten hits enough for any of that to matter, so he is a pure lottery ticket in dynasty first-year player drafts. He commanded a $4.7 million signing bonus.
