Preseason All-State. This is our second look at Calzada in this type of setting. The frame has significant room to grow. Has made an adjustment with the bat and was more consistent squaring the ball up in his BP round. Adding overall strength will allow him to drive balls more consistently. Calzada will have to develop more arm strength moving forward as his throws from the outfield faded and were offline.
9/21/19
Uncommitted. Five-foot-10, 140-pounds. Long, lean frame with long limbs, a high waist and large feet. Starts upright with high hands at the plate. Shifts weight back using a leg lift trigger before rotating through the zone. Maintains barrel on plane through swing with quick hands and some present bat speed. Swing can get handsy at times causing him to roll over. Defensively he showed adequate footwork with good reads off the bat. Funnels balls out front while playing through to release. Throws were accurate to the bag and home plate.
