Aaron
Echeverria

10/20/18 - Los Angeles Open - Five-foot-10, 175-pounds, medium/large frame with proportional strength throughout and squared shoulders. Starts tall before dipping and driving down the mound where he gains ground after a high leg kick. Lands square to the target in an athletic position. Has a pronounced shoulder/back turn adding deception to his delivery and hides the ball well. Arm works from a 3/4 slot with average speed and long action in the back. Effort is regular; not stressed. Fastball shows cut action with late, hard life. Command was inconsistent with the pitch. Curveball showed early with 10/4 shape and he threw it for strikes consistently from the same arm speed as the fastball. Knuckleball is a very intriguing pitch given his ability to throw it for strikes consistently and the release from near fastball arm speed and it's nasty, sinking action. Projectable pitcher.

10/20/18 - Los Angeles Open - Five-foot-10, 175-pounds, medium frame with strength in the lower half, squared shoulders with strength down to the wrists. Echevarria came ready to get after it and it shows itself when you discuss early standouts. Echevarria had a very loud round of BP where he barreled balls to the gaps throughout the round. Shows present bat speed and uses his proportional strength very well. Gets his barrel on plane and its keeps it in the zone a long time. Defensively he showed to have enough arm strength and accuracy to stay at third base. Showed average range with good lateral movements and quickness. Throws were accurate across the diamond. On the mound Echevarria showed a loose, compact, quick arm through to a high-¾ slot with regular effort. Fastball shows sharp, downer cutting action presently. Seemed as though the more it cut the more his command wavered, but the pitch was nasty. Curveball shows sharp, sweeping movement. He also shows some fee for the changeup that flashes fading action. There's some deception to his delivery as he starts closed and uses a short back turn to hide the ball.
