Andrew Rapoza: 1B/RHP, (2023) out of Dover, NH. is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound two-way prospect. At the plate, Rapoza's best exit velocity was 86 MPH. He begins in an athletic, wide stance with the hands set just off the back shoulder. He transitions the weight to the back leg before using a longer stride to trigger the swing. The bat head travels along an uphill path through contact. He stayed balanced and showed he could use the middle of the field. In the infield, Rapoza used a high ¾ arm slot to record a velocity of 76 MPH on his throws across the diamond. As he worked though the ground balls, he showed he had smooth footwork, a fluid exchange, and soft hands. He moves well laterally and finishes through the play. Rapoza also recorded a 60 time of 8.0. On the mound, Rapoza uses a long, high ¾ arm swing to produce a fastball that sits 74-75 MPH with late arm side run. The delivery is clean. He gets to a consistent balance point, with even shoulders and separates well. He lands square and finishes over his front leg. In addition to his fastball, Rapoza also featured a curveball (64-65 MPH) with slurvy action and a changeup (67-69 MPH) with similar action to the fastball.
