Uncommitted. Compact 5-foot-9, 170-pound frame with an athletic look. Gave an impressive look on the infield with savvy actions and overall feel for the position. He has a quick first step and is able to change direction quickly to pair with easy range. Hitting out of the two-hole, Bastidas finished the day 2-for-5 with a run scored. The right-handed hitter has a fluid rhythm in the box, loading with a controlled tempo before unleashing a loose/whippy barrel through the zone. Upside infielder with already above-average actions.
Positional Profile: C/2B
Body: 5-9, 170-pounds. Athletic, defined frame.
Hit: RHH. Relaxed, balanced setup, quiet pre-pitch actions. Athletic hands, loose and stays through the hitting zone a long time. Polished approach, stays within himself and uses the whole field.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 86.2 mph. 279’ max distance.
Arm: RH. C - 77 mph. Short arm action, high 3/4 to over-the-top slot.
Defense: 1.96-2.00 pop times. Flexible hips, athletic defender, low setup. Soft hands, willing and agile blocker. Replaces feet coming out of the crouch, repeatable and clean actions.
Run: 7.35 runner in the 60.
Bastidas is a 5-foot-9, 170-pound athletic backstop who made his first appearance at an event since 2021 and made the most of it. Bastidas is now up to 77 mph from the chute and he lowered his pop time to a 1.96 (down from a 2.07). The 7.35 runner also showed the ability to handle his right-handed bat, staying through the hitting zone a long time, staying within himself with a polished, whole field approach.
