Biographical Data Player Name: Niko Vasquez Position: Shortstop School: Durango HS (Nev.) School Type: High school Academic Class: Senior Birthdate: 02/26/89 Height: 5'11" Weight: 175 lbs. Bats: Right Throws: Right Report Date(s): 03/07 - 03/31/08 Game(s): Western High School Focus Area Comments Hitting Ability: Vasquez does have some hitting ability, but a tendency to get heavy with his stride and out on his front foot holds him back some. Power: He doesn't look like he should, but he's got power now, mostly to the pull side because of his hitting mechanics. He even shows power with wood. Running Speed: He is a well below-average runner, perhaps due to lack of leg strength. Base running: He's fine on the bases, but the lack of speed is apparent. Arm Strength: He has a plus arm now and the ball explodes out of his hand. Fielding: He's a good defender with good hands. Range: His lack of speed does not show defensively as he has good range and gets to balls. Physical Description: Vasquez is kind of a smaller, less physical version of Nomar Garciaparra with a medium-boned frame. Medical Update: Healthy. Strengths: His bat, most noticably his above-average power; his plus arm and good defensive actions. Weaknesses: His lack of speed and physicality. Summary: Vasquez played in his first game of the season at the end of March because he was academically ineligible. When he's on the field, he shows a bat that could translate into a .270 hitter with 20-25 home run pop down the line. He has well below-average speed, which turns some off when considering him as a shortstop, but he's got the arm and the actions to stay there for now. If he fills out, he could handle a move to third, both with the glove and what's expected from that position offensively, in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BA scouting report: Vasquez emerged as a potential high draft pick at last summer’s Area Code Games as he started turning his raw tools into performance, using his strong hands and good bat speed to blister good velocity. He also showed good defensive tools during a January Under Armour event, with a strong, accurate arm and better hands and actions. However, his season has been wildly inconsistent, starting with an academic suspension in February that cost him a month’s worth of games. When he returned, Vasquez was inconsistent defensively, and most scouts see him moving either to third base or second due to his below-average speed and lack of range at shortstop. However, his bat and perceived signability should get him drafted in the first three rounds. A skilled hitter, he has excellent hands and a good swing path, helping him lash line drives from gap to gap. He was at his best when the scouting heat was on this spring. Some scouts want to try him behind the plate, while others think he’ll hit enough and has enough arm (it’s average at best) to handle third base. His academic issues didn’t hinder his Oregon State commitment, but he’s considered signable. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.114.207.110 ※ 編輯: keyboardmm 來自: 140.114.207.110 (06/06 08:13)
