Hiraldo

5-foot-9, 131 pounds, wiry frame. Will need to make strength training a priority to bolster his physical profile. Solid athleticism, posting a 4.57 home-to-first time. At the plate, Hiraldo stands upright in the box with his feet shoulder width apart. His stance is open with a moderate leg kick into the swing. The approach is centered around line drives back up the middle. There is some pre-pitch waggle in the bat with a level swing plane. The hands work high at the shoulders. Hiraldo registered a tee exit velocity of 77 mph. Defensively, he profiles best at second base moving forward. He has the requisite lateral quickness to make plays there and it is where his arm is best suited. He was clocked at 68 mph throwing across the diamond from shortstop. He throws from a high ¾ slot. Showed feel for turning double plays with room to improve footwork. On the mound, Hiraldo works from the stretch, throwing from the same high ¾ slot he throws from in the infield. Will need to practice repeating his delivery, as he can fail to fully finish at times. Hiraldo throws his fastball between 68-70 mph as the primary offering in his three pitch mix. He also throws a 60-61 mph 12/6 curveball with good shape and a developing changeup between 64-66 mph. Profiles best as a position player moving forward.
