On a Royal High School team filled with NCAA D1 commits it's easy for a player to fall under the radar, but Vasquez's showing at the High Desert Uncommitted Games gave evidence to a multitude of ability for him to play at the next level. Vasquez is solidly built at 5'9 183 lbs. with 7.5 present 60 yard speed that has solid burst to profile to his 2B/3B profile defensively. His hands are sound with consistent footwork and accuracy to his 78 MPH INF arm velocity. While the defensive ability for Vasquez is sound it's what he does in the RH batters box that really stood out for him on the day. His batting practice was very strong with a 97.1 MPH max EV, 90.5 MPH average EV, 60% hard hit rate, 349' max distance, 231' average distance all good for top five amongst players in attendance. His 80% sweet spot rate and 60% line drive rate during batting practice were tops in attendance. He gets there from a controlled, but strong operation in the box which features 21.4 MPH hand speed, 71.1 MPH bat speed, 17 Gs of rotational acceleration on Blast Motion. Once the game play portion started up Vasquez turned it up another notch at the dish with multiple well hit baseballs, but he put the exclamation mark on the day by rocketing a ball to the deepest part of Antelope Valley College which carried over the fence about five feet to the RCF side of the batters eye for a homer.
