Josh
Dezenzo

6-foot-3, athletic presence in the box. Already quality tools with much more to come as he continues to fill out. Advanced feel for contact/barrel finder in the box. Solid round with 90+jump off the bat. Very smooth defender with above average ball skills that play on the move as well. Left side of the infield candidate. Not only did he show well in the workout setting but really stood out in game. He was productive with the bat and the glove with maybe the most impressive tool being his baseball IQ. Sees the ball well in the box allowing him to identify spin/work counts and always is in the right spot defensively. Very talented, cerebral player.
