LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Sunshine East Showcase
Nicholas DiEnno is a 6'1" catcher from Philadelphia, PA, with some good strength and athletic ability. He’s a bit on the raw side as far as his baseball skills, but you can see that the tools are there to improve in all areas. DiEnno hits out of a no load approach and has good hand quickness and bat speed. He has a pronounced upper cut in his swing and is trying to loft the ball. DiEnno has the strength to hit home runs and probably hits his share with metal, but this is a high risk, high return approach. Better use of his lower half in his swing would improve his bat speed and contact ratio. Defensively, DiEnno shows quickness and arm strength, although his footwork is raw, but quick on blocking pitches. He throws from a low release angle, but showed accuracy on his throws.
