CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Pagano works from a thick, strong lower half, shows signs of lateral quickness defensively with clean fielding actions and a suitable arm across the diamond. During his BP round he showed a consisent line-drive approach, short and simple to the ball but through contact there is some advanced bat-speed. Pagano shows the ability to play at the next-level, where a move to the hot corner is possible for the WNY native.
