Top 5

 

Best of the Rest

Nick Ditas 2B / SS / Barbara Goleman, FL / 2020 Stands at 5-foot-8, 149 pounds and ran a 7.52 60 yard dash. Defensively, he worked under control with present rhythm. Hands work as he fielded the ball cleanly and with confidence, showed a clean transfer and topped at 70 mph. Offensively, he stands tall in the box and has a small leg kick trigger. The swing is simple and hands work freely, creating a level path through the zone and a line drive swing. Some present athleticism with bat to ball skills that can improve with strength.

 

Pedro Castillo C / OF / G. Holmes Braddock, FL / 2020 Strong athletic build at 5-foot-9, 180 pounds. Solid arm in the OF topping at 74 and keeping the ball low. Displayed good accuracy and carry on his throws. Feet were average in the OF and behind the plate. Hands worked well on transfers on pops, but could use lower half more to keep improving on his consistent 2.05-2.15 times. With the bat, he uses a strong low base to create a level swing path. More back knee and hip drive will allow for his solid 80 MPH exit velocity to jump to the mid 80s.

 

Gonzalo Garcia SS / 2B / G. Holmes Braddock, FL / 2020 Long and athletic with a 6-foot-1, 145 pound frame and ran a 7.29 60 yard dash. Feet create a good rhythm at SS working through the ball. Possesses average arm strength currently, but will add as he puts on weight. Smooth actions on offense and defense. Swing is loose with good extension and lower half drive. Creates above average leverage on offense with a super lean body. With added strength, arm and speed will improve, along with his ability to use his good easy swing to drive the ball into the gaps.

 

Christopher Dorta C / OF / Mater Lakes, FL / 2020 A stand out on the day with athleticism. Can run for a catcher with a 6.99 60 yard dash. Defensively, there’s some quickness in the hands that led to a 2.08 pop time. Footwork can be improved overall. Offensively, he has a strong base and a short swing. The quick hands work on offense as well, but has a slight tendency to get long. Hit 81 MPH on his exit velocity.

 

Danny Diaz SS / 3B / American Heritage Plantation, FL / 2021 Displayed quick, smooth movements throughout the day on offense and defense. Above average hands complement an average to above average arm. Throws were accurate with some carry topping at 81. Nice quick transfer and release on the backhand. Ran a 7.27 60 yard dash but plays faster. Offensively, good bat to ball guy. Showed a calm approach at the plate with a short, compact swing. Gets weight through the ball and has a good patient rhythm. Back elbow can disconnect at times. Showed good barrel ability with some gap to gap pop potential.

 

Noah Chance 1B / RHP / Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy, FL / 2021 Stands 6-foot, 175 pounds. Strong kid that can pick it at 1B. Solid arm and average feet on defense. Moves well for his size. On offense, he displayed an exit velocity of 85 using a good lower half with some present bat speed. Had good balance and some pop to the pull side.

 

Christopher King SS / RHP / Gulliver, FL / 2022 Rising sophomore at 5-foot-11, 145 pounds. Smooth hands at SS, feet will come with growth. Creates some bat speed with naturally quick hands and works with a line drive approach. Slight cast of the hands can be fixed and everything will become more connected. Adding strength will help the all around game, as the feel and actions are there.

 

Ian Lima C / C / Archbishop Coleman Carroll, FL / 2020 Stocky build at 5-foot-8, 160 pounds. Behind the plate, displayed a solid base and quick transfer. Received smoothly. Short and quick arm, threw down to bases at 72. Impressed in BP rounds with a simple quick swing. Barreled balls consistently and worked well up the middle. Good extension towards the pitcher with feel and rhythm. Lets the ball get deep and extends through. Good makeup.

 

Angel M Torres OF / 1B / G. Holmes Braddock, FL / 2020 Big frame at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds. Projects more at 1B than OF because of the arm and above average hands in the infield. Strong quick bat that has some present pop in it. Gets forward well with good back knee drive. Projectable body with some present strength.

 

Richard King RHP / RHP / Gulliver, FL / 2020 Tall lean right-hander stands 6-foot-4, 185 pounds. Clean, loose arm. High ¾ slot sitting 78-81 with some arm side run and sink. Creates a great angle with big 6-foot-4 frame. His separation and long stride work on time. Athletic and drives well with lower half. 2-8 CB is slow at 60 mph with above average break. Spin can be improved. Body and feel to pitch make for some good upside.

 

Avery Thomas SS / 3B / Deerfield Beach, FL / 2020 Good long frame at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds. Smooth actions on defense and good carry on a consistent 80 MPH arm across the infield. Athletic with plus feel. Ran a 7.18 60 yard dash. Offensively, he barreled up well and registered an exit velocity of 86. Swing has decent connection and separation. More lower half and extension would add more pop to an already whippy, quick bat.
