Brush HS can’t hide their rising talent with 2022 right-hander Alejandro Maltos-Garcia. PBR Colorado had a chance to see Jando at our April 11th Preseason Event. The RHP was impressive with raw, developing talent. Fastball ranged from 86-90 mph which is max effort at times. Spin rates on fastball and curveball are consistently above average. Jando’s curveball was 73-77 mph and is pure 12/6 shape. Also throws slider at 73-75 mph. High ceiling for Maltos-Garcia. Top follow in the state of Colorado.
