Manny Retana (2024 RHP, Orlando, FL) got the start and showed off a competitive arsenal, living in the low-80s and topping out at 85 mph. He's got a quick arm with good feel to spin the ball and has a repeatable delivery; he also collected two hits during the game. 

Jesus Alejandro Castillo Diaz (2023 RHP, Medellin, AN) showed a very fast arm and worked in the 88-91 mph range for the entirety of the outing. The arm speed is very impressive and the upside here is massive. 

Brayan Valero (2024 LHP, , AN) was very solid during his outing, tossing three scoreless innings while punching out six and running the fastball up to 86 mph. It's a polished delivery with very good feel for a breaking ball that he could land for strikes. 

Luis Castro (2025 RHP, , AN) worked up to 84 mph and held the velocity range for the majority of the outing. It's a repeatable delivery and his best secondary offering was a changeup with good fading action. 

Andres Ignacio Vento Alvarado (2024 2B, Medellin, AN) collected two hits on the day including a double. The bat-to-ball skills are very solid and he keeps the swing nicely short and compact. 

Jossiel A Feliz Almanzar (2025 OF, Kissimmee, FL) collected two hits including a very nice piece of hitting on an opposite field double. He covers the plate well and can work both halves of the diamond with intent. 

Logan Sanchez (2024 C, Lake Mary, FL) collected his third double of the weekend on Sunday and showed solid blocking ability behind the plate. He's very strong and the impact potential here is very high. 

Daniel Jesus Castellanos Dales (2025 OF, Cabimas, ZU) went perfect on the day, reaching base in every one of his at-bats. He also had one of the loudest hits with a double that careened high off the wall in left centerfield. 

Iker Santiago Espinoza Gomez (2026 C, , PU) collected two hits including a double during the game's action. The physical catcher has impressive bat speed with the ability to impact balls out in front. 

Deivy Valdez (2027 OF, Santo Domingo, SD) notched three hits to cap off a pretty impressive weekend overall. He's physical and athletic who took consistently quality at-bats. 

Sebastian Andres Quintero Bracho (2026 C, Cabimas, ZU) is a very athletic catcher and also has very good bat-to-ball skills, collecting three hits. He's pesky at the plate, showing the ability to spoil tough pitches and put the ball in play.

Randy Yerardo Constanza Federico (2025 LHP, , SD) showed a tough low slot that created big time disadvantages for hitters. It's a whippy fast arm that produced heaters up to 89 mph and the breaker flashed sharpness in the mid-70s. 

Jean Paul Tamaya Carrascal (2025 RHP, Cartagena, BL) has a quality three pitch mix that included his fastball that peaked at 89 mph. He lived in the mid-80s with natural cutting life and showed good fade to the changeup. 

Carlos Navarro (2023 RHP, , ME) has a big 6-foot-6 frame and came right at hitters living in the 87-90 mph range. The fastball showed good life at times while the changeup was the most advanced secondary. 

Raul Armani Romero Bentley (2024 RHP, Brisbane, QL) is athletic with a quick arm and shows solid projection already working in the 85-88 mph range. The breaker flashed some teeth and there's the makings of a full arsenal. 

Tulio Galindez Perez (2023 RHP, Medellin, AN) was excellent at limiting runners and hard contact but throwing three shutout innings. The fastball lived in the low-80s and he commanded the pitch consistently to the glove side. 

Elvis Adrian Blanco Longa (2023 RHP, Santa Teresa, MI) is going to throw very hard down the line and already does: living in the 88-91 mph range during his performance. The arm speed and physical projection point to a future big time thrower. 

Geronimo Fermin (2028 LHP, Orlando, FL) only just turned 14 and shows a ton to like out of the southpaw. The fastball worked up to 81 with deception while he also showed both a curve and a changeup to complete the mix. 

Carlos Zamuel Ortega Pacheco (2025 UT, Maracay, AR) got weak contact early and often, working up to 82 mph and showed off a four or five pitch mix. Everything moves out of his hand and his consistency in the strike zone made him tough to square. 

Daniel Jesus Castellanos Dales (2025 OF, Cabimas, ZU) had four hits on the day and was all over the barrel early and often. He's ultra aggressive in the box and showed the speed with a stolen base while also legging out a triple. 

Iker Santiago Espinoza Gomez (2026 C, , PU) had two doubles on the day, one in his first at-bat and one in his last. The physical backstop receives well and has plenty of strength off the barrel. 

Audrex Belzares (2025 IF, Medellin, ME) had three hits and showed off pretty impressive bat speed in the process. There's very good impact off the bat and his athleticism impresses in all facets. 

Frederick Saguita López (2028 SS, Kissimmee, FL) showed really impressive barrel skill in the box and collected two hits on the day. The swing is loose and easy and the upside here is sky high. 

Edrei Ezequiel Castro Briceno (2026 IF, Merida, YU) had two hits including a double. He impressed throughout the workout day and has a great overall feel for the game. 

Logan Sanchez (2024 C, Lake Mary, FL) had two hits and hit some of those very hard. He impacts the ball with significant strength and the power potential here is obvious. 

Luis Pico Babilonia (2025 C, Lorica, CO) had three hits and showed the ability to turn the barrel with intent. He also showed one of the better defensive plays of the afternoon, reaching across his body to throw out a runner at second base.
