PBR partnered with Florida JUCO Super Showcase this year to cover the Central Florida event in Winter Haven. It was a three-day event featuring a pro-style workout and two days of gameplay. Now that we’ve gathered all the stats from the weekend we take a look back to highlight our top ten performers from the highly attended event.

Top 10

Dillon Walters (Coral Shores, 2020, 3B/RHP)

Walters impressed during the showcase session on Friday night. Displaying body control in his long, filled out frame, Walters was light on the feet and showed a strong arm on throws across the diamond. Where he really stood out this weekend was on the mound. Walters utilized his frame and strength to get behind the baseball and create a little extra extension towards the plate. With a fastball that sits in the mid 80’s and room to get stronger, Walters should command some looks this spring.

Brylan West (Freedom, 2020, 1B/3B)

During the BP session everybody stopped to watch West, who just had a different sound when the ball came off his bat. He easily drove balls over the wall to the pull side. His 6-foot-5 245 pound frame is plenty strong enough at the plate but it’s the speed and quickness in the hands that stood out. West had multiple good at bats in this weekend going down and getting pitches low or on the outside corner. The plate coverage and ability to barrel the ball up could make for a very special hitter in the future.

William Martinez (Grayson (GA), 2020, SS/2B)

Martinez’s 5-foot-10 170 pound frame along with the athleticism go hand in hand with the middle infield. His quick twitch ability was on display as he utilized a fast first step to go along with sure hands while fielding. At the plate, the switch hitter throws his quick hands on plane with the ball with little drag and consistent hard contact. What stood out most about Martinez was the ability to stretch a single into a double on more than one occasion, indicative of a high motor and instincts.

Christian Harmon (Norcross (GA), 2021, RHP/SS)

The body control and ability to snap the arm with Harmon is a plus for a 2021 prospect. He is still filling in to an already strong, athletic frame and bases his weight in his legs evenly in the infield where he showcased a more than strong enough arm. On the mound, that arm was on display. With a windup that allows him to come over the top with his arm and get out front with the body, he has natural pull-down ability in the core that can really create a lot of spin on the ball. His fastball got up to 85 mph with some run and broke off a sharp mid-70s breaking ball that will get even better with that arm action.

Coleton Brogden (Durant, 2020, C/1B)

Brogden showed out with the bat this weekend, having a loud BP session on Friday night and then put on a laser show during the games. Brogden squared up balls that left his bat in a hurry evidenced by a 2 run shot to left that was followed by an RBI double off the batter’s eye in center. The 6-foot 230 pound catcher also recorded 2.01-2.15 pop times showcasing quickness to go along with the power in his imposing frame.

Pedro Alexander Moreno Sanchez (Conrad Academy, 2020, SS/2B)

The athleticism really stood out with Sanchez as he was a handful of guys with a sub-7 60 (6.94) and also displayed a strong arm clocking at 86 mph across the infield. He is sure of himself in the field and slows the game down with his stellar footwork. He attacked short hops and trusted his hands that were soft and fast. The body control leads you to believe he has natural instincts and his abilities will only get better with the more reps he gets. Sanchez was one of the best infielders on sight and anything with the bat is icing on the cake.

Sammy Odiorne (Madison County, 2020, 2B/SS)

Listed as a 2B primarily, Odiorne has the quickness and arm strength to play short. He clocked in our fastest 60 of the showcase at 6.82 and at 5-foot-10 170 pounds has the frame conducive to the middle infield. The arm was on display too which leads one to believe he could also be used on the left side of the infield but the skills around the bag will probably keep him at second as he turns a quick double play. At the plate, Odiorne was never an easy out. He had good at bats and deep counts with a mature understanding of the strike zone and advanced pitch recognition. Odiorne has all the tools to be successful. 

Clayton Boroski (St. Cloud, 2021, RHP/3B)

A 2021 prospect, Boroski has a matured 6-foot 185 pound frame with room to get stronger. He is in tune with his body on the mound with a rhythmic, repeatable windup. He has a clean arm action that gets over quickly giving it a whip-like look with low to normal effort leading to sustainability on the mound. He also engages the lower half well, transferring his weight to the back leg as he drives to the plate. His fastball sat 82-84 mph with a low 70s breaking ball that he could command in any count. With clean mechanics and a mature approach on the mound Boroski is an intriguing prospect to watch.

Andrew Cox (Keystone Heights, 2020, C/OF)

Cox stood out early and often. Standing 6-foot-1 185 pounds with broad shoulders and an athletic frame he definitely passes the eye test. Behind the plate he showed off the quickness he harnesses in that frame with 1.97-210 pop times that would play anywhere. He also displayed the strength and hand-eye coordination with the bat as he barreled up just as many balls as anyone this weekend. Cox drove the ball to the pull side gap in multiple at bats and also had the ability to stay back and shoot a pitch to right field. He has balance at the plate and gets anchored in the back leg which keep him still and on time. If the body keeps getting stronger Cox could develop into a real threat at the plate.

John Dominguez (Charlotte, 2020, RHP/OF)

Dominguez opened eyes during the showcase portion of the event. He ran a 7.08 60 showcasing athleticism and enough speed and then clocked in at 90 mph from the outfield to display the arm strength and control. On the mound, Dominguez relied on that athleticism as he coiled into his windup and fired the hips which then created space for the upper body and arm to snap forward. He is in tune with his body enough to create torque in the torso for optimal arm speed forward. The command was also impressive for someone with such a fast arm and at 83-85 mph on the fastball, there is much more in the tank down the road.
