LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Jomel Torres is a 2008 1B/P/OF with a 6'0'', 185 lb. frame from Chula Vista, CA who attends Eastlake HS. He has a mature build with some thickness and good strength. What Torres is is a natural hitter who consistently drives the ball hard against all types of pitching. He has a controlled power stroke with some lift at the end and consistently squares up hard on the ball to all fields. Torres has very good natural timing and balance in the box and never appears to take a bad swing or be fooled by a pitch. It seems as if he's hitting about .600 the past two years in PG and WWBA events. It's hard to imagine Torres not hitting at all levels given his strength, approach and skills. Defensively, Torres is an agile first baseman with good feet and soft hands who will be an asset despite his average height. Torres also throws in the mid-80's off the mound. He's an old school type player player who plays the game the right way as well.
