top performer Report

 Big Apple Preview (October 9, 2017) Polgano stands 5-foot-10, 155-pounds with a lean athletic build, signs of more height to come from his wiry frame. Improved his 60-time from a 7.91 to 7.24. In the box very relaxed approach, slightly open stance with hands relaxed by his shoulder. On the pitch he uses a small leg lift, back load for timing, hands power to the ball on a short direct path, barrel is level through contact with full extension. 92 mph exit velocity with power signs to his pull-side. Defensively worked out as a catcher/3B. Behind the plate he receives from a wide stance big open target, soft hands, active footwork. Kept his throws to the 1B side of 2B with carry at 73 mph arm strength, 2.05 best pop-time recorded and we expect that to lower with more reps. At 3B very relaxed to the ball, clean quick glove-to-hand transfer, throws from a high-3/4 slot with carry at 81 mph. Overall, Polgano shows all the tools of a next-level player. Added body strength and increased foot-speed will help him separate.
