Ricky Rivera (2016, Alta Loma HS, CA) was impressive on the mound for JG Baseball in his relief appearance during the semifinal game against ABD. On his second straight day in relief, the 5'7" right hander was 82-84 MPH with his FB, topping out at 85. He has a repeatable delivery and solid mechanics, throwing from a high 3/4 arm angle. The ball comes out of his hand clean, he has a quick arm and riding life on the FB. Rivera also shows a hard slider that is almost more of a cutter at times, registering at 73-74 MPH.
