New Jersey Games (July 23-25, 2016)

Gutos is a 6-foot-1 170-pound SS with an athletic body. Can also play the outfield. Gutos' bat is his best asset - swings it with strength and force. Starts in a neutral stance, slightly opened, with hands relaxed just below the shoulder. Uses a big leg kick and a smooth hand load. Heavy front foot land, but is athletic enough to keep weight back to avoid drifting to the baseball. Very aggressive hips and hands through the zone to the baseball. Occasionally pulls off on ball, "back legs" pitches. When he makes solid contact it is gap to gap power. Defensively - Smooth at attacking the baseball. Has clean exchange and footwork. Throws had backspin and carry up to 83 across the infield. Pitching - up to 84 but sat 81-82 with heavy armside run form 3/4 slot. Slider at 71 had 10/4 shape, slurvy type pitch. Occasionally gets around the pitch, causing him to miss gloveside. Can be fixed by controlling the gloveside down the mound, so he does not open up too early.
