6-foot-3, 180-pound right-handed pitcher and right-handed hitting outfielder. He ran a 7.31 sixty at the event. The approach in the outfield is online and athletic as he works his way through the baseball as he fields it. He threw 76 mph from right field to the plate, the arm works free and clean during the process. The bat has an exit velocity of 86 mph. The setup is wide in base and the front foot steps into the swing as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The path is flat and long through contact with the baseball. The hands work well and he took a good round at the event. On the mound, the fastball sat 77-78 mph with arm side action to it. The spin pitch was 62-64 mph and big in shape. The changeup was 66-68 mph and solid at times. The delivery is online with feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is repeated, coil at the top of the lift as he shows his number to the hitter. The arm is clean, short on the backside and clean out front. The addition of physical strength and weight gains should aid the development of his game.

6-foot-3, 180-pound right-handed pitcher and outfielder. I like his athleticism and overall skill set. He ran a 7.32 sixty at the event. The approach in the outfield is aggressive and online.

The bat has an exit velocity of 87 mph as physical strength gains can still be made. The setup is even in base and the front foot steps into the swing. The path can be flattened to improve contact point as the hands work free and loose. On the mound, the fastball sat 77-78 mph with arm side action. The slider was 67-68 mph and needs to be shortened. The breaking ball was 63-65 mph and big in shape. The changeup was 63-64 mph and solid in action. The delivery has crossfire to the feet and the slot is slightly above 3/4 in height. The lift is solid in tempo, top half stays closed to foot strike and shows the ability to repeat. The tracking is good and he stays with his arm

Sacchetti is a projectable 6-foot-2, 180 pound duel prospect. The right-handed hitting outfielder had an exit velocity of 82 mph off the tee. The stance is slightly open, with the weight sitting on the back leg. The hands are relaxed, just off the back shoulder. As the swing begins, the bat gets into the hitting zone early and stays well through contact. The long limbs create good leverage and he extends well through contact.

Defensively, he was 80 mph on his throws from the outfield. The feet move well and get him into a balanced fielding position. He breaks down behind the ball, with the glove just off the front foot. His transition to the throwing position is good, showing off his soft hands.  The transfer happens off the back should, allowing for a clean, quick arm-swing. He finishes through the play, staying in line with the target.

On the mound, Sacchetti uses a short, balanced delivery to work down the mound. He creates a direct line with home plate. He attacks hitters with a long, high arm slot that produced a fastball that ranged 76-77 mph with sink. His breaking ball was 63-66 mph with tight sweeping action. He also showed a change-up with good action at 64-66 mph.
