Scouting Report
Positional Profile: SS/C
Body: 5-9, 150-pounds. Athletic with strong lower half
Delivery: Starts on 1B side of rubber and stays there throughout an athletic and repeatable delivery.
Arm Action: RH. Brings the ball down and back up quick before releasing from a lower 3/4 slot.
FB: T82.4, 79.8-82.1 mph. Good life with some run at times T2338, 2147 average rpm.
CB: 71.1-74.0 mph. "11-5" shape with short and tight break T2228, 2111 average rpm.
Positional Profile: SS/C
Body: 5-9, 150-pounds. Athletic with strong lower half
Hit: RHH. Starts in an upright and balanced stance using a knee to knee load and stride. Gets on plane early with a short and flat path to contact finishing higher. Stays gap to gap with a line drive approach.
Power: 87.4 max exit velocity, averaged 83.9 mph. 314’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 84 mph. Short and quick releasing from a 3/4 slot.
Defense: Showed quick feet in the infield and good lateral movement presenting the glove early and out front receiving with soft hands.
Run: 7.09 runner in the 60.
This was our first opportunity to see Reina, in quite some time, as he is the starting QB for St. Louis HS. Reina turned in a respectable 7.12 in the 60, which should even be better come spring/summer time. During the INF portion of the day, Reina caught everything clean with athletic actions moving through the baseball and showed good arm strength across the diamond by recording an event best 86 mph INF velocity. Reina also took a good BP round, consistently making hard contact. "More than the sum of his parts" would be the best way to describe Reina, as he's a guy that college coaches are going to want to get out and see come March 1, because he plays above his tools in game.
Positional Profile: C and 2B
Body: Athletic 5’9” 160 lbs. frame.
Hit: Begins in a balanced and athletic stance with hands held at shoulder height. Simple load and stride to get back to center. Ball got in on his hands at times. Bat path was flat with slightly uphill extension. Took good at-bats during gameplay portion of the day.
Power: Max exit velocity of 84 mph.
Arm (C): Short, quick arm action. ¾ arm slot. C velocity of 76 mph.
Arm (INF): Short, quick arm action. ¾ arm slot. INF velocity of 82 mph.
Defense (C): Athletic footwork, quick and clean transfer. Stayed down in the crouch.
Defense (INF): Good first step with athletic footwork moving through the baseball. Caught every ball out front.
Run: Posted a 7.15 in the 60.
Athletic 5-foot-7, 145-pound frame. Right-handed hitter hits from a balanced, athletic stance using a knee-to-knee load with a medium stride. Flashes average bat speed with developing strength to produce an exit velocity of 78 mph. On the infield, actions are continuing to progress, moves well with athletic feet, solid actions and clean exchanges into a high-¾ release producing a positional velocity of 75 mph. Developing catcher, high setup, solid receiver with quick exchanges into a longer arm action and high-¾ release resulting in a 73 mph positional velocity from behind the dish and a 2.05-2.11 pop time. Quality athlete ran a 6.81 second 60-yard dash. Also worked out on the mound where he uses a simple delivery with a medium arm action into a high-¾ slot. Worked 74-77 mph with the fastball showing average command. Breaking ball was 64-69 mph with 11/-5 shape. Flashed a solid changeup at 65-66 mph with arm-side fade.
