SCOUTING REPORT
Mundo checks in at 5-foot-10 170 pounds having ground 2 inches and gaining 10 pounds in the past year. He ran a 7.29 60. Offensively- Sets up in an even and balanced stance with quiet timing mechanisms; stays behind the ball with an all fields approach and two-handed finish. Exit velocity up 3 MPH from his previous best at 80 MPH. Defensively-Active feet to and through the ball; quick shuffle step maintaining his momentum into his throws which peaked at 81 MPH across the diamond, a significant improvement from past events. 2B/3B projection at the college level.
WHAT DID WE SEE?
"What stood out the most for Mundo were two areas...1) Overall athleticsim, being more active on his feet defensively and playing the part of a middle infielder. 2) Arm strength- having attended 3 events in the past he never broke the 71-72 MPH range, thus limiting his defensive projection to more of a 2B only. A 9 MPH jump is impressive in it's own right but to do so in the flow in the defensive workout is impressive. His foot speed has improved from 7.83 to 7.60 to 7.50 to 7.25, also an impressive feat over 2.5 years. A late bloomer who could plug in as an utility infielder at the right program that will allow for him to continue to develop."
