Uncommitted Spotlight: 2021 OF Santino Panaro
October 7, 2019
Santino Panaro, '21, is an elite level athlete, #6 ranked outfield and #11 overall, with lean, quick twitch frame that patrols a premium position in centerfield and causes havoc on the base paths with his 6.63 60 speed. A participant for Nevada at the PBR Future Games in Cartersville, Georgia, Panaro showed well both at the plate and in the field increasing his exit velocity (87) as well as his velocity from the outfield (85) to compliment his well documented speed. This highly projectable prospect has already generated buzz from colleges with his aggressive instincts paired with his impressive tools. Panaro is looking to capitalize on his summer success by having a breakout junior season with Bishop Gorman.

Scouting Report
10/18 - 5-foot-8, 150, Panaro has a small frame and relies heavily on his speed and quickness. He plays fearlessly in the outfield routinely diving to take base hits away. He chases balls down in the alley utilizing good routes. A leadoff type guy with an aggressive swing and solid bat plane, contact results in line drives to all fields. He is an aggressive baserunner who seem to find himself right in the middle of the run production
2/10/19 -Stocky, 5-foot-8, 155, Panaro has a compact frame with present strength. Panaro’s work ethic is noted in his size and strength gains since the Fall. He is a twitchy hard-nosed player who gives everything he has to the task at hand. His 6.63 60-yard time eludes to his closing speed and his ability to take hits away from opposing hitters. Panaro stays in solid rhythm with his feet and transition to throw. He throws out of a high ¾ slot with arm speed and developing arm strength. In the box, he stands open and strikes closed with a short quick swing and high finish. He maintains a mostly middle to pull side approach and his short quick bat can produce a bit a sneaky power. He profiles as a top of the order bat, playing a premium position as a centerfielder.
