Scouting Report
Western NY All-Star Games (September 24, 2017) Oropeza stands a sturdy 5-foot-11, 200-pounds from his corner position. He uses a slightly open stance, active loose hands (bat-waggle) knee lift on the pitch for timing, strides back to even. Barrel stays mostly level through contact, full extension with above average bat-whip. Exit velocity was 88 mph off a tee, during BP he used all fields with gap-to-gap power, more pronounced to his pull-side. Defensively he has active footwork, keeps the ball centered and out-in-front, very quick transfer to an easy and accurate 78 mph arm from a 3/4 slot. overall fielding actions are smooth and trained.
