He hides the ball very well in his delivery, which allows his mid-upper 70's FB to appear even quicker to hitters. 

 

Robert Giovanelli (2017 SS, Manhasset, NY): Giovanelli closed the game for the Orange team, and showed quality pitchability and a very fast arm. He worked 79-81 with his fastball consistently, challenging hitters with that fastball and pounding the zone.
