LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Sunshine East Showcase
Kenny Socorro is a 2007 SS/P/2B with a 5'8'', 160 lb. frame from Miami FL, who attends Miami Senior HS. He has a mature body with good present strength, especially in his lower half. Socorro ran the 60 in 7.16 and threw 82 mph during infield drills. He is a very smooth and fundamentally sound defensive player with soft hands, quick transfers and plenty of arm strength. Socorro is very dependable on the routine plays and has the arm strength to make some plays in the hole as well. We've seen Socorro play many times but he swung the bat better than ever at this event. He showed very good bat speed and surprising pop for his size, especially to right centerfield. He does a very nice job of getting his strong lower half into his swing and stays balanced through contact. Socorro also pitched some and showed he could be a servicable pitcher at the next level as well. He gets good running life on a 83-84 mph fastball and has good arm speed. He'll drop down on his release occasionally to get even more movement. His 64 mph curveball could use some improvement. Socorro is also a good student.
