Scouting Report
Unsigned Senior Showcase (October 16, 2016)
Rivera-Colon has a strong, physically built frame at 5-foot-11 203-pounds. Ran 60 in 8.31. Offensively- LHH with power potential. Recorded 84 mph exit velocity. Set up is slightly closed with hands above shoulder. Uses a small leg lift and stride to start swing. Weight transfer from middle to back is visible. Hand load is minimal. Strong lower half, but closes himself off on finish. Looks to post early with front leg, cutting swing off somewhat. Defensively- shows good footwork at 1B on 3-6 throws. Throws across infield were recorded at 69 mph. Short, quick arm action.
