2017 Sunshine East Showcase
Jorge Rivera is a 2018 C/2B with a 5-10 170 lb. frame from Orlando, FL who attends City of Life Christian Academy. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a projectable build with room for additional strength. Ran a 7.64 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, begins with a low set behind the plate, sound mechanics and repeats well with body control, gains ground out of crouch with lower half, quick transfer and release, gets on top of throws, slight tail action but accurate, 1.97 best pop time. Righthanded hitter, begins with a balanced stance at the plate and utilizes a middle of the field approach. Loads weight on backside well and shifts nicely into contact, generates nice bat speed and shows intent with swing. Clean stroke with ability to work all fields, comes off barrel well and finishes through the ball with nice extension. Very good student.
