Valdez

05/19/18- 5-foot-6, 135 pounds. Defensively, he has a quick first step and some twitchy range. His hands work well and has a quick transfer. Topped out at 82 mph across the infield and an a 7.25 60 yard dash. Shows actions to be a solid defensive second baseman. Offensively, the switch hitter had an 80 mph exit velocity from the right side and an 81 mph exit velocity from the left. Right-handed he has a short, simple and level swing. There is a present feel for the barrel and line-drive approach. Left-handed, is nearly  mirror image. He creates a little more bat speed and gets into his lower half more with more natural uphill path. Overall there is present feel for the barrel and athleticism defensively.
