unsigned sr. Report
NY Games (June 25-27, 2017) Athletic 6-foot, 185-pound RHP, ran a 6.95/60 showing athleticism. Pitching - clean arm action out of a low ¾ slot, late, sinking movement on fastball at 77-79 MPH, stays consistently down in the zone, keeps hitters off balance with 2-to-7 curveball, effectively changes eye level, consistently induces weak contact. Offensively - out of a nearly upright stance, keeps hands inside ball and bat on a level path, makes consistent barrel contact with an exit velocity of 87 MPH; repeatable motion, comfortable staying middle third of the field, more lower body engagement will add to power, already signs of some gap-to-gap pop. Defensively - agile footwork, uses extra steps into crow hop, accurate arm at 84 MPH, tenacious competitor who plays his best in biggest games, above average defender off the mound. Gines will make an impact at the next-level, still uncommitted but we expect to see him off the board sooner-than-later. Ranked top 75 in NY's talent rich 2018 class.
