Riley
Tirotta

2020 Mid Major Draft Prospects: At 6-foot-3, 195-pounds, Triotta is high waisted with a lean, athletic build and tools to match. Possessing uncommon wheels for a corner infielder, he ran a 6.3/60 on Dayton’s Scout Day, and backed it up last fall by posting several home-to-first times in the 4.13-4.15 range (plus-to-double plus speed). Though it wasn’t always present in game action last spring and summer, he packs plus raw power in his righthanded swing and appears to be driving the ball more consistently as the season approaches. Defensively, he shows good first step quickness at the hot corner with the requisite arm strength to stick there long term. (Granger)
