Gerardo

10/10/18 - 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame. Gerardo made lots of hard contact during his round of batting practice; 88 mph exit velocity.  With a quiet and consistent set up/load he showed a short simple swing with a consistent line drive plane.  Made consistent hard contact during his round of BP with a swing that should translate well to higher levels. Showed sure hands and good carry on his throws from the outfield, accurate and head high with 80 mph velocity. Posted 7.53 60-yard dash, but turned in a 7.15 at an event last winter and should move well enough to handle an OF corner.

1/28/18 - Gerardo’s balanced approach at the plate and quick hands could help him develop into a nice recruit for a school at some level in college. A 7.15-runner, Gerardo takes athletic strides, and moves better than the time shows when grazing the outfield. Currently, 5-foot-10, 175-pounds, Gerardo has some lean strength throughout, but looks like he will continue to add a significant amount in the future. At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a solid base, and works his weight and hands slightly back with a short stride. His hands allow the barrel to quickly work to the ball on a flat path before getting out of the zone fairly quickly, as well. From the outfield, Gerardo produced throws as high as 82 mph. He was accurate, and looked the part of a player that can be counted on to make the consistent, “right play.”
