LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Sunshine East Showcase
Arencibia is a 5-11 senior right handed pitcher from Key West with a live, athletic body. We've seen him many times in the last 2 years and he threw consistent with his past performances in Fort Myers. Arencibia pitched mostly in the 85-87 mph range with his fastball and his 2-seam fastball had good running actions to it. Arencibia does a good job of hiding his pitches during his delivery and his fastball seems to jump on hitters, who often get late swings. His strikeout pitch is a 62 mph curveball, which while it might seem slow on the radar gun, has good tight spin and bite to it and hitters don't adjust well to the speed differential. Arencibia throws strikes and attacks hitters early in the count and usually registers high strike out totals when we've watched him pitch. Arencibia also plays third base when he's not pitching and shows some pop in his bat with a short swing and some bat speed. He is a good student.
