3/05/22

Rojas has a lean and athletic build at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.07 seconds, while recording a top exit velocity of 87 MPH. At the plate, has a slightly open and crouched stance. Hands start low, move up and back during his load. Minimal stride, but it brings his feet to even pre-pitch. Not many wasted movements, moves his barrel directly to the ball and produces a ton of line drives. Behind the plate, recorded pop times ranging from 2.13-2.20 seconds, with a top velocity of 74 MPH on throws to bases. Quick transfer by his chest, stays athletic through his throws. On the mound, sets up towards the first base side. Maintains his rhythm and tempo throughout. Clean mechanics, gets over a strong frontside to create leverage. Slightly uphill shoulder tilt. FB sat in the 79-81 MPH range. CB was bigger and had 11/5 shape, consistently tossed in for strikes at 66-67 MPH. Also mixed in a straight CH at 68-70 MPH.

Rojas is lean and athletic at 5-foot-10, 160-pounds. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.31 seconds, while recording a top exit velocity of 87 MPH. At the dish, Rojas starts in an athletic stance, bend in his knees and front hip slightly open. Hands begin back, behind his shoulder, and stay locked in position. Minimal load, stays on time.

Efficient transfer, short arm action. Throws were on-target. On the mound, Rojas only pitched form the stretch. He starts preset into his back leg but brings his weight up as his delivery begins. Creates some hip/shoulder separation. Arm swing is shorter at the top. Fastball sat 77-79 MPH. Curveball had some sweeping shape at 67-69 MPH. Also displayed a knuckleball at 70-74 MPH.

Starts at the plate in a wide and athletic stance, slightly open. Strong base, is into his lower half. Small stride with a toe tap. Hands are basically locked in position with some pre pitch rhythm.

2/15/21

5-foot-10, 160lb athletic frame; 7.36 runner in the 60 yard dash. At the plate, Rojas starts with a wide base and keeps his hands behind his back shoulder with the bat wrapped around his head. Loads with a simple lift and replace and lunges into the pitch, blocking off a strong front side. Works a fairly linear swing that covers the plate with slight pick up at the end of the swing. Puts the ball in the air with ease and hit multiple line drives with flush contact, registered an 88 MPH max exit velo. Behind the dish, Rojas sits very low in his crouch displaying good hip mobility. Receives with a firm glove and holds the pitch well. Gains ground to the target on his way out of the crouch and works a quick exchange. Posted a 2.2-2.3 pop time with a 73 MPH arm from the crouch. 

On the mound, works with good pace down the slope and uses a repeatable hand break to remain on time and smooth. High 3/4 arm slot with good hand speed through the pitch. Held the fastball 80-82 MPH with solid command to the glove side. Flashed a curveball at 72-74 MPH with good up and down shape that has potential to be a swing and miss pitch. Also mixed in a  changeup at 77-78 MPH with good fade to the arm side and quality command on the zone.
