Class of 2018
Gaetano Vallone, OF/LHP, West Catholic, 2018
Ranking: 18th ranked player in Michigan’s 2018 class
Scouting report: Vallone has an athletic 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame. He has an open stance with high hands and shows good rhythm. He has an uphill plane to his swing and has good bat speed with pull side raw power. His exit velocity was 88 mph and he ran a 4.31 home-to-1st. In the outfield he shows good range while fielding the ball with good rhythm and staying behind the ball well. His position velocity from the outfield was 84 mph.
College outlook: Vallone was a standout for Team Michigan at this past summer’s Future Games both on the mound and in the outfield. Vallone was one of the top hitters showing the ability to hit to all fields and driving the ball in the gaps. On the mound his fastball has been up to the mid-80s with a big breaking curve.
