Tucson Open: Position Player Analysis


Shea Sbranti
Arizona Scouting Director

On Saturday, August 27th, the PBR Arizona Staff hosted the Tucson Open at the university of Arizona. The event featured 58 prospects and gave our scouting staff a quality look at players from all high school classes.

Today we continue the analysis of the event with a look at all of the position player's scouting reports from the day. 

position player top standouts

Gavin Smith - 6-foot 165 pound Smith was a player we were looking forward to seeing going into the Tucson Open and he did not disappoint. The true shortstop put on a show this past weekend, showing a clean glove and accurate arm across the infield with a 86mph arm. At SS Smith has soft feet and good first step with lateral movement. At the plate Smith showed a mature round of BP with a center of the field approach.Smith showed a high leg lift, hands that worked inside the baseball with weight on his backside. At this moment Smith is a singles and doubles type hitter, with added strength we feel Smith will be a top of the line-up type hitter with power to the gaps. Smith is currently the #26 ranked player in the 2024 class and will be a high follow going into the Fall and Spring seasons.

Jorge Zazueta - 6-foot 165 Pound, Zazueta was fun to watch this past weekend at the Tucson Open. 2025 grad Zazueta has a longer build that has room for growth. At the plate he showed his strengths with 74 mph bat speed and a topped out exit velocity of 93. Zazueta has a balanced stance with weight that goes into his back side, and a bat path that creates some natural loft. Zazueta showed some power to the pull side in his rounds, handling balls on the inner half well and hitting deep fly balls to the left field track. At firstbase, Zazueta played tall but worked through the ball well and had simple actions with the feet. When making a clean transfer with the glove he is able to stay short and accurate. We look forward to following Zazueta as he goes into his sophomore season at Desert View.

Adriano Lopez - 5-foot-9 145 pound, Lopez showed well this past weekend at the Tucson open. At the plate Lopez showed a simple and compact swing that produced line drives to both fields. Lopez has a short simple set up and light toe lift load, his hands work inside well with a barrel path to match working on plane and producing quality contact. With added size we see Lopez being a gap-to-gap type hitter. Behind the plate Lopez had a smooth transfer and good arm topping at 74 mph down to second base. Lopez did show some accuracy issues with misses to the second base side of the bag, but when on the bag showed times under 2.0. The Arizona staff is looking forward to following Lopez’s progression as he goes into his Sophomore season at Cienega.

Aciel Guillen - 5-foot-9 160 pounds, Guillen was perhaps the most intriguing player to come out of the Tucson Open. The 2025 put together a great round of BP with line drives around the field and deep fly balls to the gaps. Guillen has a shoulder width stance and toe tap load, short hands to the ball and creates extension through. Right now Guillen looks to be a middle of the order type hitter with quality barrel awareness. With added size Guillen could be a top of the order type bat that will produce power to the gaps. At shortstop Guillen showed soft hands and good actions with the feet and a second best 85 mph across with an over the top arm action. We see Guillen staying up the middle of the field at the next level on the right side of the diamond. We look forward to watching Guillen go into his sophomore year at Salpointe Catholic as he is a high follow for the Arizona staff.

Jacob Croxford - 5-foot-11, 170 pound, Croxford has had a breakout summer with the Canyon Thunder as he goes into his junior year at Liberty High School. The 12th ranked OF in the state has shown the Arizona staff his athletic ability posting a 6.92 60 at a previous event that translates in the outfield and on the bases. At the plate, Croxford uses the middle of the field and, with added strength, could be a potential gap to gap power type hitter. In the outfield Croxford has a HTQ slot with quick glove to throw skills. We look forward to seeing Croxford in the Fall and Spring seasons as he is a high follow for the Arizona staff.

Felix Enriquez - 6-foot-2 250 pound, Enriquez put on a show in Saturday’s round of BP at the Tucson Open. Enriquez has a large build that produced the highest EV of the day at 100 mph. Enriquez has a wide balanced base in the box and short load, his bat path works flat through the zone and produces deep fly balls to the gaps. With a quality barrel percentage of 71 at the Tucson Open, we feel 2023 grad Enriquez could be a big time power bat going into the Fall and Spring season at Salpointe. We look forward to following Enriquez moving forward.

Raydon Rocha - 5-foot-10 145 pound, Rocha was one of the stand out 2026 grads at this past weekend's Tucson Open. The RHH showed it during BP with 71 mph bat speed and a peak exit velocity of 90 mph. Rocha stands tall in the box with a medium high lift, his batpath is compact and direct with a long finish through the ball. Throughout his round Rocha drove balls to both gaps, and handled the ball on the outer half well. Rocha moves well up the middle and has a stiff glove at times. His arm works well with a long over the top action topping at 77mph across. Rocha will be a high follow for the Arizona staff as he goes into his Fall and Spring season at Vail Academy.
