+ A younger infielder to note is INF Gaetano Lazzara (Lake Park, 2028). He has an easy, balanced right-handed swing that worked to stay up the middle of the field throughout his round with a peak EV of 94 mph. He was an impressive defender on the infield with athletic actions and footwork, playing low and through the ball with leverage and timing, confident hands. Arm plays with a quick release from a ¾ window. Advanced defender on the infield with an upside swing at the plate.
