Bello is a 2019 from New York, stands at 6-foot-2 185-pounds and is still growing into his frame. Hitting- Showcased one of the best days at the plate in the simulated game - with two doubles that one-hopped the fence in deep left field and left-center. Bello uses a high leg kick as to load, getting his foot down early while still having has hands in a loaded position. Once foot is down, he viciously rotates his hips and his hands follow. Has a tendency to get tall and lift upon backswing/finish, but can be fixed with added lower-body strength. Fielding (1B)- Shows exceptional hands for his age and feel for the position - is still a little heavy with his footwork. Has a clean exchange and plays through throws to second base. Pitching- FB sat 78-81 with slight run, 11-5 gradual breaking ball that's thrown for strikes. Has a short, quick arm stroke at a high-3/4 angle. Athletic at balance, when hands release they separate away from the body. Can increase stride length with added lower body strength. Lands with a stiff front leg/knee, indicating that lower half needs to be used more in delivery.
