Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 150-pound left-handed hitter. Long and lanky frame, played right-field for the Elks. Zambito impressed on Thursday, collecting a double and scoring a run. The actions stood out for the young left-handed hitter. He works from a wider, open setup with a quiet operation pre-pitch, showing feel in the box with more power likely to come as strength is added to the frame. An underclass name to follow.
