Prep Baseball Report

On Deck Preview: Capital Region (2 of 3)


Ted Williams
Director of Scouting, PA

As the staff at PBR-New York is ready to embark on 2022, let's take a look at players that are ready to make that next jump during this year's Preseason All-State Tour.

PRESEASON ALL-STATE - CAPITAL REGION

Percentage Full: 75%
Registration Deadline: February 16th
Current Roster

Gianni Ricci RHP / OF / Shaker , NY / 2024


What to expect:
 High spin-rates and fluid, lengthy arm-action with more projection left at 6-foot-2, 175lbs. Rides the FB up at the letters and can land the offspeed for strikes (68-70 mph CB) with short, two-plane shape.

What we'd like to see: 
Increased command on the FB. Ricci turned up the velocity in his last appearance (T87 mph) for a personal best, but found the zone at a 27% rate.

Joshua Ryan OF / 1B / Shaker, NY / 2023


What to expect:
 A strong-bodied prospect with some positional flexibility and multiple ways of getting onto the field. Generates natural twitch at the plate (RHH), driving the ball for distance to the left side.

What we'd like to see: 
Additional bat-speed (66 mph peak) would continue bolstering an already solid extra-base hit profile (343 foot batted ball).

Dominic Aquino C / OF / Shaker , NY / 2023


What to expect:
 A quick release with comfortability in catch and throw behind the plate. Produces loft offensively and carries the ball with backspin to LCF (73 mph bat-speed).

What we'd like to see: 
Better consistency in the arm-strength from the crouch (66 mph) would push pop-times towards the 2.00 flat mark.

Cameron Mailloux C / 1B / Shaker , NY / 2023


What to expect:
 Leveraged frame (6-1, 175lbs) that transfers to the playing field with some strength attributes (72 mph C arm).

What we'd like to see: 
Further growth on the offensive side of the ball (RHH) would take his game to another level.
