Charlotte MegaStar Scout Day: Middle Infielders
June 7, 2018
![](/upload/SummerPreviewProspectID061218.jpg)
On Wednesday May 30th the Charlotte MegaStars held a Scout Day with Prep Baseball Report of North Carolina. The Scout Day allowed the players from the MegaStars program to run through a full pro-style workout with players collecting verified stats from our independent service. PBR Scouts were on hand to evaluate each prospect and players had the choice to add the evaluation and a video to their personal PBR profiles.
The updated statistics, evaluation, and video allow for a full PBR profile that can be shared with over 900 college coaches and Universities that subscribe to PBR. With college and pro evaluators on hand, several players stood out, and have developed over the past few months.
The Middle Infield group features 7 players, two of which also worked out on the mound. Athleticism and strength exist in the group. Andrew Alejandro (2B, 2020) turned in a 6.77 sixty on the laser timer. Jake England (SS, 2019), Julio Moreno (2B, 2019), and Kyle Raynor (SS, 2020) each had their exit velocity peak at 85 mph off the barrel.

Middle Infielder Analysis

Andrew Alejandro SS / OF / Westminster Catawba Christian School , SC / 2019

Jake England SS / RHP / Forestview, NC / 2019Rankings StateRank: 178 / POS: 31
6 feet 3, 175-pound lanky build. Hits from the right side with a wide but balanced setup and short stride getting his lower half through the ball. His barrel works short to the ball, staying level through the zone and getting extension out front. Looks to stay gap to gap with a line drive approach. Shows feel for his barrel with his exit velocity recorded at 85 mph and should improve with added strength. On the infield he shows average hands, funneling to the center of his body with clean exchanges. Plyable hips, but tends to stay high through the catch. Short arm action and throwing from a high ¾ slot with accurate throws across the diamond. Arm should play better as his feet are more active playing through the ball with more rhythm. We have seen him carry 79 across the diamond but he looked to be guarded with his throws on this day, lacking some hand speed and extension. Ran a 7.64 sixty. |

Julio Moreno 2B / OF / Home School, SC / 2019
5 feet 7, 200-pound build. Hits from the right side with a simple swing using a tall, balanced setup and short stride in his load. Shows a more pull type approach with is bat working uphill after contact. Looks to get extension out front, but his swing does get long at times. Exit velocity recorded at 85 mph and that should improve as he learns to get his lower half more involved in his swing. On the infield he shows average hands with clean exchanges and a short arm action leading to a high ¾ slot. Peaked at 65 mph across the diamond. Accurate arm across the diamond that should play better as he looks to play through the ball more. Ran a 7.66 sixty. |

Kyle Raynor SS / RHP / Indian Land , SC / 2020
Average, athletic frame at 5 feet 11, 170-pound build. Hits from the right side with a balanced setup. Gets his weight going back in his load and uses a short stride. Looks to stay in the middle of the field with a line drive approach and his barrel working short to the ball, staying in the zone and getting extension out front. Stays simple throughout his swing good balance and his exit velocity recorded at 85 mph. On the infield he shows average hands, funneling to the center of his body after catch with clean exchanges and a longer arm action. Average carry at 75 mph from the position. Accurate arm across the diamond with the ability to throw from different slots. Good burst off the line and added strength should lead to improving the 7.49 sixty. |

Ryan Street SS / RHP / Jesse C Carson , NC / 2020
5 feet 8, 155-pound build. Offensively he works from the right side with a slightly open stance, using a toe tap for his load. Gets his lower half through ball with his barrel working short to the ball, staying level through the zone and getting extension out front. Shows feel for the barrel working to stay gap to gap with a line drive approach. Exit velocity recorded at 79 mph and should improve with added strength. On the infield he shows average hands with fluid feet and funneling to the center of his body after catch. Clean exchanges, with a short arm action and accurate arm across the diamond with the ability to throw from different slots. Arm peaked at 78 across the field with average carry.

Looseness in his swing with good balance. Exit velocity recorded at 73 mph and should improve as he matures and adds strength. Soft hands on the infield with quick, fluid feet athletically playing through the ball. Transfers to the center of his body after catch with clean exchanges and long arm action leading to an over the top slot. Accurate arm across the diamond with carry to his throws measuring 80 mph out of the hand.
