CV Preseason ID

Algarin was a guy I saw during some late Spring and early Fall coverage where the lanky, strongly built medium frame showed two-way skills. During this event, Algarin stuck to the OF and showed athleticism and tools that should carry him to the next level. Quick feet allow him to beat the baseball in the OF and his arm strength was very evident keeping throws firm with life to bases (87 OF); the loose arm would be above-average if he sticks in the middle of the OF like he should (6.95 60) and also could be useful on the hill. At the plate Algarin shows balance with hands lower and tight to the body through a slight foot lift load. The hands load upwards a bit as the head stays still allowing the hands to work underneath the shoulders with the barrel finishing high on contact; hands are direct to the baseball and swing created lots of hard lindrives back through the middle while showing the ability to spray the ball to both gaps (85 EV). 

FALL BALL - Long medium frame with lanky, athletic build. Athleticism shows up in OF and on the mound. In the OF, Algarin works behind the baseball well showing the ability to adjust on the move and showing advanced range in CF. The arm is loose and can get the ball in quickly, knowing when to put more on throws. At the plate Algarin works from an even hands set up with an open stance and slight lift during the load. The bat is quick and compact working with extension and making hard contact out in front of the plate. Doubled into RCF showing the strength from his frame. On the hill Algarin went two scoreless innings striking out two and walking one. Hands stay at the waist during a tucked knee lift showing length out of the glove getting to H-3/4 release point; shorter stride down the hill with firm front leg. FB 78-82 showing life at the plate; release point was inconsistent, but able to battle with the pitch. CB 62-66 with 1/7 shape showing loose actions and length through it’s fluid break. Chance for jumps as he continues to strengthen and mature.
