LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Atlantic Coast Top Prospect Showcase
Venezuela is a 6-0, 155 lb middle infielder from Virginia with a slender, live body. He's a 7.25 runner in the 60 who shows quick actions, especially on defense. Venezuela is a slick fielder with quick hands, lots of range and good balance. He is especially adept at charging the slow rollers and making good throws on the run. He has enough arm strength to play shortstop at the next level, especially with his quickness. Offensively, Venezuela has wiry strength in his hands and wrists and has some bat speed. He is a very busy hitter, with a big leg raise and hand hitch that often leave him late to the ball and will force him to make some adjustments as the pitcher's become faster. Venezuela is a hard working player who hustles and has fun playing the game, which we appreciated. He's a good student as well.
