Brian Perez (2017 3B, Miami, FL) has a mature look and good strength for a 5-foot-10, 185 pound 2017 graduate. The right handed hitter has an extended hand load and aggressive shift to contact, and when he is on time he is able to hit the ball with real authority. He showed developing power to his pullside.
Mike Entenza (2017 RHP, West Palm Beach, FL) is a primary pitcher, but he had a very solid round of batting practice on Saturday. The well-built 6-foot-3, 195 pound righty has good rhythm in the batter's box and he showed an ability to get extended and put his long limbs to work, consistently driving line drives back up the middle.
Shamir Morales (2017 C, SAN LORENZO, PR) hits from a crouched stance with a pointed barrel reminiscent of Chuck Knoblauch, and he showed very good feel for using the barrel in his swing. Morales had a solid overall round, wearing out the pitcher’s screen with line drives and hitting to the opposite field with similar ease.
Andre Macedo (2017 3B, Navarre, FL) has a deeper hand load and a toe-tap timing mechanism, and he showcased good bat speed with the ability to get extended. Macedo got into a very nice rhythm and was able to repeat his swing mechanics very well as the round progressed.
Ihosvany Castaneda (2017 OF, Hialeah, FL) is a strongly-built 5-foot-9, 180 pounds with a sturdy lower half. The righthanded hitter has an aggressive approach and he doesn’t get cheated, consistently swinging hard and with a purpose. Castaneda has a line drive path and good strength and he should continue to improve once he gets extended more consistently.
