Scouting Report
Irvin Cespedes, SS, Lajara Baseball Academic (DR)
Cespedes stands 5-foot-10, 150-pounds with an athletic slender build. He stood out amongst the infielders at the "Winter Combine".  In the infield he showed great above average actions, smooth hands. Everything was fielded out in front and funneled back toward the core prior to release. His eyes tracked the ball nicely to the glove while his feet got around the ball putting him in perfect position to release and follow his throw.  He's certainly got next level infield actions to go along with a quick glove and +arm. At the plate he started and remained very balanced throughout showing quick hands and consistent contact.  Though his frame needs to add some weight in order to gain power, he barreled up almost every ball he saw.  He is definitely worth a look to any colleges looking for a natural middle infielder with a consistent bat.  His athletic ability was shown through his combine testing where he jumped a 25" vertical, broad jumped 8'5" and ran the fastest 10 yard dash of the day at a 1.69.
