Diaz was a late addition to the roster at the High Desert Uncommitted Game, but his presence was immediatlely felt. His profile is well rounded with athleticism (6.98 runner in the 60 yard dash) that has an accurate 79 MPH OF arm (showed well throwing into the stiff wind). At the plate it's a short/direct RH swing that works to stay on top of the baseball consistently while accurately finding his barrel. Diaz peaked at 97.3 MPH on his max EV with a 71% sweet spot rate and 42% hard hit rate throughout his rounds of batting practice. The RH hitter relies on explosive hands which were at 24.7 MPH on Blast Motion while generating impressive torque during his turn peaking at 23.3 Gs of rotational acceleration. He lived on the barrel throughout his rounds with low line drives which when the game started turned into multiple extra base hits including a ringing line drive into the LCF gap where he burned around the bases for an inside the park homer. On a day where the wind created havoc on any ball in the air especially from straightaway CF to the RF line Diaz made a trio of high quality catches including one drifting towards the RF foul line where he stayed with the ball to make a great catch. Then for good measure with the OF starting to play deep to compete against the balls carrying in the wind he was able to get an impressive read/first step on a hard line drive in front of him and come charging in to take away a knock. Hailing from the consistently strong Ayala baseball program in Southern California Diaz should garner some following from college coaches looking for top of the order potential bats who can defend in CF.
