Pancione

Rage Scout Day

Athletic frame with present strength. Outfield velocity was up to 91 with a few more upper 80's mixed in with it. Real raw arm strength with athleticism and physical tools that show all over the field. At the plate Pancione put up some really nice metrics including top exit velocity during the BP session at 90 mph. Not only did he have top exit velo, but Pancione displayed quick hands and high end rotational acceleration which those two coupled together should give Pancione a good chance for some adjustability in the swing as well as produce real power on contact. He flashed solid connection and the barrel was on plane. On the mound it is a long free arm stroke from a three-quarter slot. There is effort and intent to the delivery, but the velo has a chance to play. Pancione was 81-84 mph with the fastball. Slider had tight 11/5 break at 68-71 mph. This is a fast moving physical athlete that has a chance to impact the game in a variety of ways.

1.28.17:  Pancione is 5-10 with a lankier athletic frame, he hits from the right side from an open athletic stance. Short leg kick stride on line, loads back to a slight wrap, hips rotate and he keeps some balance during his swing.

On the mound, throws from a low three-quarters arm slot. Draws hand straight back and throws with a short arm action and normal effort. Shoulders are level and closed, lands closed with an athletic finish. Fastball was 66-71 with a bit of late sink to it. Curveball was 56-58 and thrown with some armspeed, pitch had gradual 10/4 break with the potential to tighten into a good pitch as he develops. Change-up was 59-64 with sinking action and thrown with good armspeed.
