Ricardo De La Torre (2017 SS, Juana Diaz, PR) brought a hush to the Juncos ball park when he took BP, except when he lifted the last pitch out of the park and loudly off the LCF signage.  He has big bat speed in addition to his other tools and really impressed.

Carlos Esteban Rodriguez (2017 IF, Hatillo, PR) has a complicated load that he'll have to simplify to become more consistent but when he's timed up he shows very good bat speed and made hard contact to the middle of the field.

 Rafael Burgos (2017 1B, Juncos, PR) is a big young man at 6-1/225 and has a strength driven swing that can impact the ball hard.

Adrian Colon (2019 OF, Humacao, PR) is only a freshman but took a very impressive BP for his age.  He has a loose right handed swing with pretty sound mechanics and lots of present bat speed.

 Johnathan Rodriguez (2018 OF, Toa Baja, PR) impressed in every area today and he's a switch-hitter with talent from both sides of the plate as well.  He has a longer power oriented swing right handed with lots of bat speed and a shorter but still firm swing left handed.

Jose Alejandro Marcano Rivera (2017 SS, Humacao, PR) is a solidly built middle infielder with good strength in his hips and lower half.  He hits from a calm and direct approach with good bat speed and his line drives jumped hard off the barrel.

Julian Rivera (2017 SS, Caguas, PR) made as much square contact as any hitter in BP, consistently peppering line drives to all fields with a quick and short swing.

Manny Gonzalez (2018 OF, Toa Baja, PR) stands out at his age for a very projectable 6-3/160 frame and the right handed hitter has some present bat speed and lift to his swing.

Ian Munoz (2017 1B, Gurabo, PR) has the strength to drive the ball at 6-1/210 and he did so today, top spinning hard line drives to all fields and turning on a few balls and driving them to the left field wall.

Lionexis Rodriguez (2017 C, Aguada, PR) has a nice short swing for his size and the strength to impact the ball hard.  He is going to keep improving with a couple of adjustments.
