01/12/2024 - Baseball Factory Spring Training in Sarasota
Antony is a 2026 OF/RHP who showcased his skills during the BF Spring Training in Sarasota. In the OF he starts in a relaxed ready position with ability to make routine plays. Runs good routes to balls and works behind and through. Has a clean exchange off of his left foot and creates momentum to his target. Made on-line throws consistently from a high 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity up to 74mph. On the mound he works with good tempo and keeps his eyes on his target. He gets to a good balance position and separates his hands on-time. He challenges hitters with a FB that topped out at 68mph with command, a 10/4 shaped breaking ball, and a developing changeup. He worked 2 innings of 1 hit baseball and punched out 4 batters. At the plate he hits from a crouched and square stance. Shows smooth timing to swing and hits into a firm front side. A short/direct barrel path allows him to hit line drives to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 75mph. Antony has a projectable frame with ability to play all 3 spots in the OF. We look forward to seeing him at another event real soon.
Evaluation update from 6/10/25 - Antony is an athletic 2026 grad and an all around good player. His footspeed in the outfield is an asset as he posted a 6.97 60 for us. He moves well and covers a lot of ground. He has a quick and clean exchange and has momentum on his throws to his target. As a hitter, Antony is athletic in his set up and shows balance and a good use of his lower half throughout his swing. His consistent contact works well with his speed. On top of his ability, Antony is a great young man and respectful. He will be an excellent addition to a college program next year.
