Developing, 5-foot-10, 155, Randazzo is a developing receiver that sits comfortable in his crouch. He showed the ability to handle a variety of arms with confidence. He displayed instincts for block and recovery. His 6.94 60-yard time would lend to improved recovery quickness down the line. He throws accurately with a quick transition, rolling through his exchange like he is turning a double play. Noticeable was his ability to get his front foot down quickly, providing a quick release. At the plate, He maintains a simple rhythm with balance throughout his swing, making consistent quality contact. Growth and development should sustain gap type power, with an occasion for pull-side juice.
