Top Performer Spotlight
CEVETTE'S QUICK HIT: Pagano works from a thick, strong lower half, shows signs of lateral quickness defensively with clean fielding actions and a suitable arm across the diamond. During his BP round he showed a consisent line-drive approach, short and simple to the ball but through contact there is some advanced bat-speed. Pagano shows the ability to play at the next-level, where a move to the hot corner is possible for the WNY native.
8/7/18: St. John Fisher (Campus Series)
Stands 5-foot-9, 171-pounds from a strong build. At SS he moves his lower half is active to the ball, glove is out in front, quick transfer, strong arm across the diamond with carry at 78 mph, next-level defender. Offensively – Upright stance that finishes closed off to the pitcher. Hands work low and then get loaded back into a strong hitting position. Stays behind the baseball and finds barrel. Balanced finish. 85 mph exit velo with more in the tank.
Preseason - West (February 19, 2018)
At the plate he uses an upright stance, that waggle, on the pitch strides with a leg lift, Barrel is mostly level with a medium length finish, exit velocity was 77 mph off of tea, expect to see more come the summer. Defensively, attacks the ball with aggressive mechanics, quick release from a high 3/4, 74 mph across the diamond arm strength.
