On Deck Preview
RECENT SHOWCASE HISTORY
JR Future Games (August 2, 2018)
Broad shoulder; thick legged right-handed hitting catcher who ran a 7.65 60. Offensively- Slightly open setup; flat barrel over shoulder with a slight tip towards the mound. Stays tight to the body; hands inside contact with an elevated 2-hand finish. Showed plenty of pop for his age. Raw exit velocity was 88 MPH off the tee. Defensively- Arm works behind the dish with a peak velocity of 71 MPH; slight hesitation after transfer, waiting for body to land before releasing; throws generally stayed on line over the 2 days. Pop time range right at 2.21-2.22 with room for improvement. Receiving/blocking aspects need to improve but he has the skill set to do so.
WHAT TO EXPECT
"Badillo has an advanced frame at 6-foot-200 pounds and he plays with some grown man strength in the batter's box. Has shown the ability to barrel the ball and drive the left center gap. Really looking forward to seeing his framing/receiving soften up with the better arms and to become a real tank in the dirt. Foundational skills are there and he is set up to elevate his game"
PLAYER COMPARISON*
*Note: A new feature added to our On Deck Preview. Many times coaches will ask our staff "Who does he remind you of?" Player "comps" are a popular tool in the scouting/recruiting world and we have decided to add that niche.
