New England Insider: Uncommitted Underclass Spotlight - Izaiya Mestre, SS/RHP
Name: Izaiya Mestre
Position: SS/RHP
School: Taconic
Class: 2017
Scouting Report: On the mound, he showed a short and quick arm path. Strike thrower with plenty of feel for his delivery. The fastball got up to 81 and showed a ton of life and run to it. He used it on both side of the plate. The spin is 69-70 with good shape and depth to it. Could be an out pitch at the next level as he throws enough strikes with his fastball out of the bullpen. The slot is ¾ and quick. As a positional player, threw 82 from the hole at shortstop and showed a plus glove with short quick actions. Got off the ball very well and handled the pivot with experience. Tee exit velocity of 83. The swing is loose and has no load to it. The bottom half is under control and the body is athletic. The plane of the swing needs flattening, and the setup is even with an even hand setup. Ran a 4.59 home to first.
Outlook:
