7/13/18 - Canales is an LMU commit that looks the part and backs it up. At 6-foot-3 185-pounds, Canales shows above average tools across the board with his big arm, nimble footwork, clean exchanges and excellent body control. At the plate he showed flashes of power while peppering the gaps with would-be base hits. With continued physical development Canales should develop into a legitimate over-the-fence type hitter who excels defensively.
3/2/18 - Loyola Marymount commit. 6-foot-3, 180-pound is long and lean with significant physical projection remaining. Canales' frame can handle more weight comfortably without compromising his athleticism. He displays excellent power for his age with a slight uppercut swing path. Typically a shortstop, Canales has been getting the lions share of reps at third base this year. Canales exhibits sound defensive actions and mechanics with soft hands and natural instincts to pick up the routine ground ball. He can throw from all angles accurately and has the ability to range left and right with ease and smoothness. Canales demonstrates a high level of maturity & skill on the field with excellent body language and demeanor.
