International Amateurs

We just completed our monthly private practice with many young international amateur free agents who we hope can aid our club in the coming years. It was great to meet the players in-person and get to know them better, and I was able to improve my scouting assessment on all invitees.

In fact some of the players impressed me, since they showcased a higher potential than I had previously expected from them:

Jesus Quintero, 16 year-old CF out of Panama
Lean and athletic, Jesus Quintero hails from Panama, Panama. He projects to be a .290 hitter. His eye grades out as plus. He has decent power now and has the chance to have above average power in the future. Quintero is projected to be an elite starting center fielder.

Juan Ochoa, 16 year-old RHP out of Panama
Juan Ochoa is a wiry framed reliever who was born in Panama, Panama. He projects to have a repertoire that include an outstanding splitter and a fastball with good life. When he's on he's unhittable, but he's susceptible to the long ball and wandering command. Ochoa projects to be a solid bullpen contributor.

However, a few invitees left me disappointed as they did not appear to match my previous assessment, although they may still end up being future stars:

Arturo Moreno, 16 year-old C out of Venezuela
Arturo Moreno is a long, lean athletic catcher who was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He has a ceiling of a pull hitter with plus power. He is an aggressive hitter who will have to prove himself against top-notch pitchers. He should be very good at taking bad pitches and drawing walks. Scouts project Moreno to fill a key role for a contending team in the big leagues.

And other players that I was able to further assess were:
Alexis Pelcastre, 16 year-old 3B out of Dominican Republic
Sergio Villalpando, 16 year-old 1B out of Venezuela
Bruce Anglesey, 16 year-old RHP out of Australia
Jorge Ledesma, 16 year-old CF out of Dominican Republic
Julio Alvarado, 16 year-old C out of Dominican Republic
Ramiro Santana, 16 year-old C out of Venezuela
Biagio Torrisi, 16 year-old 3B out of Venezuela
