Preseason All-State. This is our first look at Valdez in this setting. Small, slight frame that has significant room to add weight. Setup in the box is narrow and open. Shows a high leg kick with a soft foot strike. Bat path and approach to contact is simple with a slight uppercut. Had a decent BP round with an all fields approach. Adding strength will allow Valdez to get to the inside pitch and drive balls to the pull side. Profiles defensively at an outfield corner. Footwork is proper, but did not have the arm strength to make consistent throws. Bringing strength to his overall game will improve his tools.
