Evan
Acosta

4/8/14 - Ranked No. 96 in the state. Acosta has a long lean frame at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds and is highly athletic with projectability. Showed his athletic abilities multiple times defensively, highly advanced defender of his position, quick athletic feet and athletic arm action afford him the ability to make plays other pitchers might not. Controlled the game well, mound presence is there, has a good feel for what he’s doing. Delivery is athletic and repeatable, upright finish lacks extension. Arm action is short and quick, has the ability to hide the baseball, fastball gets on you quicker than velocity suggests, also makes for consistent and tight breaking ball. Flashed the ability to command his fastball, gets occasional sink, showed finish through the zone, pitched primarily at 81-83 mph touching 84 mph in the first inning. Curveball has consistent action, showed depth and feel for the zone, 70-73 mph, flashed occasional 12/6 action. Sparingly showed a changeup at 77 mph. Acosta is a rare, highly athletic left handed pitcher tin the 2015 class hat showed a competitiveness on the mound and the ability to command a game, poised to climb in the state rankings. Final line – 5.2 IP, 2H, 3K, 2BB.
