2017 Sunshine East Showcase
Rafael Acosta is a 2018 C/1B with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from Santo Domingo, NC who attends Florida Air Academy. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present strength to frame, additional room to still fill out moving forward. Ran a 7.47 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, higher stance behind plate during drills, quick transfer and gets the ball out of his hand well, shows nice arm strength as well as carry down to second base with sound accuracy, arm plays. Righthanded hitter, begins with a slightly and tall stance at the plate with a medium hand set. Smooth stroke through the zone and generates nice bat speed while showing the ability to generate lift. Uses long levers to create extension and shows pop off the barrel when on time with path, tools to continue to improve. Good student.
