New England Insider: Uncommitted Underclass Spotlight - Angel Mendez, SS
Name: Angel Mendez
Position: SS
School: Career Magnet
Class: 2017
Scouting Report: A right-handed hitting middle infielder who had an impressive workout at the event. The hands are soft and fields the ball out front in good position, the transfer is quick and feet move well to target. The arm strength was 80 across the diamond, gets rid of it quick and showed some carry to it. Started a double play in the game, which was impressive. At the plate hits from the right side. The stance is balanced and a bit wider, picks hit foot up and puts it down for his timing. The hands are set right above shoulder and close to the body. The path is flat through the one finishes with two hands. The swing short, with some bat speed, tends to get rotational at the end. The tee exit velocity was 77 and ran a 4.63. Can really pick it, may have to the other side of second, definite follow for me.
Outlook:
