Rocco
Porreco

4-24-16
A 6-foot-2, 200-pound right hand hitting 3B/RHP who ran a 7.41 60.  Balanced at the plate with a slight dive in on the pitch.  Wide stance allows for an aggressive weight transfer on the swing.  Swing path is level through the zone and his exit velocity was 92 MPH.  In the field he shows good feet and positioning on balls at him and to his glove side.  He makes a strong accurate throw across the field at 81 MPH.  

8-8-15
6-foot-1, 200 pounds. Bats and throws right. Porreco is is big frame on the mound that throws a heavy fastball. Was also voted 2017 pitcher with best breaking ball at the Top Prospect Games. Porreco has a square delivery to the plate, crouches in balance point, then throws from an over the top arm slot. Could get more extension if he worked on not throwing over stiff front knee. Fastball sits at 80-81, but touched 82. We came away impressed with his curveball that had very tight spin with 12/6 shape. At the plate shows some rhythm, loads back and has pull power with pretty level swing through the zone. Ball jumps off bat as evident with his 88 mph exit velo off a tee. At 3rd showed nice quick, soft feet for his size. Went backhand well and strong arm across diamond at 81 mph. Ran a 7.8 60. 2017 prospect to follow.
