Ficca

VA/DC Scout Blog

Long, lanky, projectable frame. Ficca seems to be developing well since we saw him at the PBR Future Games last August. Has the makings of a potential power threat down the road once he adds to the frame. Hits from a slight open taller set up at the plate. Show nice rhythm in stance with simple leg lift load and slight weight shift back to hitting position. Has quick hands at the plate with a barrel that can stay through the zone. Keeps hands inside well. Uphill finish, shows ability to drive the baseball. Like his potential at the plate and think his best years are ahead of him. Versatile, can catch and play a corner. Might out size himself at the plate as he adds to frame, but can handle himself well there. Plus defender with nice athleticism at first base. Could fit that mold well as !B with pop in the bat.

PBR Future Games

Lanky and projectable frame at 6-foot-3, 190-pounds. Ran a 7.55 60-yard dash. Hits from a taller open set up with hands at shoulder level. Squares up with low leg lift to his hitting position with slight arm bar. Free hands at the plate with level path and bat speed. Shows pop to the pull side and that was present during his BP session. Nice rhythm in swing. Exit velocity of 93 mph. Nice feel for barrel at the plate and is only going to get better as he fills out his frame. Solid base behind the plate. Sound receiving ability, like to see quiet down a little more in game with body movement. Quick and clean exchange behind the dish with short arm action with a pop time as low as 2.12. Velo of 75 mph. Still rawness left to the game with higher ceiling. Showed ability to keep barrel in zone. knocked a double to left field on tough pitch in game in his one appearance before having to leave early. Like offensive potential of the prospect, and probably will be C/1B combo at the next level once frame is filled out and he looks like a linebacker.
