01/14/2011 - Pirate City Spring Training - 2011 Larracuente continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Having seen him a couple of times, we feel as though he may project best at 3B for the next level. He has some athletic abilities through a solid base, displaying balance in the IF. As a catcher, he threw his best pop time to date at 2.47 with a means of 2.55. Throws flash carry but he will benefit by staying on a long toss program to aid in building more arm strength. Brandon needs to work on his catch and throw skills to be an effective catcher at the next level. Offensively, hands are quick, generating bat speed to and through the baseball at contact. He maintains balance through most of his swing, but needs to work on staying in a more athletic position throughout. At the event, he was 2 for 3. Brandon is a very coachable and personable player with a good work ethic.
