LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 World Showcase
Rafael Santos is a 2017 OF/1B/LHP with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from Deerfield Beach, FL who attends Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS. Big and strong build, looks bigger than listed. Worked out both in the outfield and at first base in drills, arm works very well from both positions, speed will limit to first base but he has nice actions there and will be an asset at the at position. Left handed hitter, hanging leg load, pull and lift swing approach with good extension out front, power approach from a wide base, ball comes off the barrel hard. Has a chance as a two-way prospect, compact arm action and delivery, creates some angle from a 3/4's arm slot, ability to repeat mechanics still developing. Topped out at 85 mph with his fastball, was up to 89 mph in Jupiter in October, sweeping curveball. Can improve as a pitcher with some mechanical adjustments as the arm is there. Good student, signed with Florida Atlantic.
