Borges

9/23/18 - Rising Stars Showcase - Five-foot-10, 150-pounds medium/large frame with long limbs and noticeable strength in the lower half and wiry strength in upper half. At the plate Borges shows a consistent barrel path from an upright, slightly open stance. Keeps quick hands inside the ball and shows some present bat speed. Drops his hands into launch position and drives back hip into ball. Shows to be a hitter for average while using all fields. Defensively he shows a rhythmic athleticism when approaching balls. Range to both sides is fair and arm is capable of making throws from multiple angles. Arm strength is average but projects with continued physical maturation. Backhand is true. Footwork can get choppy getting to the ball, but manages to have them in proper position when fielding the ball. Funnels balls out front and shows clean/quick exchanges.
