2018 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Edwin Almanzar is a 2019 RHP/ with a 5-9 147 lb. frame from Elmont, NY who attends Francis Lewis. Developing young pitcher's build, medium frame, lean with room to fill, 7.19 runner in the 60. Primary pitcher that shows athletic ability in the delivery using his lower half well with good sequencing. Will mix in pace variations to disrupt the hitters' timing. Reaches extension out front with a quick arm through a higher 3/4 arm slot. Shows above average command of the fastball that sits in the upper 70's-to-low 80's, topping at 82 mph. Mixes in a curveball, with 11/5 shape, which is thrown for strikes but not used heavily. Extremely aggressive and confident in his fastball to both halves of the plate. Starts with an even and narrow stance with a high back elbow. Shows a pull-side approach at the plate that creates large amounts of rotation. Slashing swing with a slightly downward swing path creating backspin when centered in the barrel. Profiles better as a pitcher presently, great student.
