Frankie Pizzo, 3B, Shenendehowa HS, NY (2016)
The No. 44 ranked player in the 2016 class and rising, Pizzo stands 5-foot-9, 175-pounds with a very strong lower half. From the infield he shows next level actions, staying around the ball and through the ball on his throws. Fields the ball to his arm side, clean exchange, smooth arm action, throws from a mid-3/4 slot with above average arm strength at 85 mph. At the plate uses a small stride, short path to the ball, level bat plane, hands stay inside the ball with signs of power potential (84 mph exit velocity off a tee). Nice long extension through contact, shoulder height finish. Home to first time was 4.7, pro agility time was 4.78. Potential to be a very good lock down corner guy, with plus arm and bat. Excited to see him Feb. 15 at our Preseason All-State Event.
