Ricardo
Navarro

The surprise player of the event! Navarro who hails from Sanora, MX, moved to of all places, Tropic, UT. Ricardo plays HS baseball at the 1A fall level, but the tools are evident. Playing for CBA Summit in the summer will be a recruiters arena to scout and evaluate this young man to gauge his skill level vs better pitching. An early invite to this summer's Future Games in GA, this will be where coaches will need to bear down on this kid. A strong hitting base, with a lean into his back side, while featuring a knee kick similar to Josh Donaldson’s. Navarro loads the barrel with a deeper turn of the tip, and then lands and really uses his lower ½ to turn from a torqued position and fires the hands inside and through the baseball with good extension out front, into a high one hand finish. The ball jumps from his compact 5-7 180 Lb frame with loft and carry. Left the park on numerous occasions with high deep shots over the 40 foot net in LF. Defensively he has the Hispanic flash and glove actions that catch your eye, while showing a strong accurate on line arm across the diamond. Navarro was so impressive that on first look, we jumped him into the preseason Top 10 prospects at #2!
