Illinois and Wisconsin Assistant Director

On Sunday, Feb. 6, Prep Baseball Report will host the 20th edition of its prestigious, flagship event: the Super 60 Pro Showcase. Since the event’s inception in 2003, more than 300 players have been selected in the MLB Draft, including 25 first-round picks and 26 second-rounders.

We're starting our march toward the Super 60 today by highlighting the prospects set to join us, shining a light on their impressive player profiles that they've groomed through their high school careers, leading them to this point, vying for the attention of the pro scouting community.

Scouting Report

6/11/21

The 6-foot-3, 200 lb explosive 2-way prospect talents were on display all over the field. Defensively he floated around the infield with quickness and ease while accelerating through the ball, the glove is soft with smooth transfers into an advanced arm (97 MPH) making accurate throws from multiple angles and on the run. At the plate he generated torque from the lower half and core yielding bat speed up to 76 MPH; He stays behind the ball well with pull side power and natural backspin ( 97 MPH EV / 82% Fly ball/ 376' max dist.) To finish the day one of the most impressive things we saw was the fastball off the mound having a max spin rate of 2710 RPM while topping at 90 MPH giving him elite life (31 max Spin Score) through the zone while also flashing feel for a high spin, swing & miss  slider that got up to 19" horizontal break & -6" of vertical drop. Giovanni put together one of the most impressive all around performances we have seen this year.
