LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Saul Rufino is a 2017 OF with a 5-10 140 lb. frame from Wayne, NJ who attends De Paul Catholic. Medium, athletic frame with a lean, projectable frame and plenty of room to fill out with additional strength moving forward. Ran a 6.98 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, takes short steps moving to the ball with sound actions, full arm action through the back and looks to get extended out front at release, lower slot at release, additional incorporation of lower half into release will lead to extra strength out of hands. Switch-hitter, begins with a high leg lift trigger from the left side and a lower hand set in the box. Simple swing and overall mechanics, quick hands to swing with rhythm, timing to swing and shows more bat speed through the zone, mostly line drive contact with occasional lift out front. Similar low hand set at the plate from the right side. Short swing with a leg lift trigger, slightly spread stance, gets the barrel to the ball and creates contact to pull side with lift to swing plane. Good student.
