Valencia attended his first Prep Baseball CA event in a couple of years and the gains made to his physicality and overall game are very significant. A two-way player, Valencia flashed improved footwork and arm strength (82mph) from the outfield resulting in accurate throws with carry to all bases. The physical gains were on display during the hitting portion where his 93mph exit velo was amongst the best in the event. The improved strength resulted in a gap-to-gap line drive filled BP over two rounds. He consistently stayed in the middle of the field wearing out the gaps where it was easy to envision a high double profile as his 5’9” 157-pound continues to develop physically. On the mound Valencia pounded the zone with multiple pitches all living in the zone while working to all quadrants. It’s a simple, repeatable, and athletic delivery that gains ground down the mound.
