One week earlier, Radek was evaluated at Valor Chrisitan scrimmage on the mound. His FB sat at 88-90 and had impressive 2-plane SL at 76. At the All-State Preseason event he highlighted his offensive and defensive skills. His lower half strength is in sync with hands and creates plus bat speed and power. Exit Velo: 98. Defensive actions still raw, but solid results and plenty of work habits for development

Behind the plate, he is clean and athletic and his arm plays with strength and quickness. He was a consistent 1.83-1.89 on pop times!! A right-handed hitter, Castonquay swings with intent and aggression His 95 Exit Velo was on his swing. Demonstrated great energy throughout day!
