Molto-Herrera has continued to progress throughout his prep career both on the mound and at the plate, proving himself to be a possible two-way prospect at the next level. From the Southern Nevada Underclass Trials event last year, the Bishop Gorman product has improved in every statistical category over the past year which could be directly attributed to his work ethic both on the field and in the weight room. Offensively, he has rhythmic, polished his swing with big power potential, apparent by his event best 101 mph Exit Velocity. His projectable bat is complemented by his above average foot speed, running an impressive 6.69 60 Time. Defensively, he projects to stay at the third base position with his 87 mph Infield Velocity and feel for the position.

His most projectable position may be on the mound with a fastball sitting mid 80's with a curveball that has good 11/5 shape and split changeup that has late downward action that proved to be his go to pitch throughout the Fall. This Gael put his name on the map during the Gael's Fall season with multiple relief appearances in key situation where his grit and ability to perform in tight games shine through. This season was projected to be his coming out party as part of a talented Gorman pitching staff, but he will have an opportunity to showcase his continued improvement at the Upperclass Top Prospect Games later this Summer.
