10/12/2008 - College PREP - Baltimore, MD Chris is a SS with near above average defensive abilities in the middle of the infield. Foot speed is below average and needs to be improved through a speed / agility program, but feet are playable. Feet are active and aggressive in coming to get and playing through the baseball with his feet and hands. Glove action and hands are soft, sure, and solid in making all the plays. Arm strength is slightly average and needs to get on a strict long toss program to aid in building more arm strength. He gets rid of the baseball quickly with accuracy on his throws. At the plate, Defeo shows average ability and power. Approach is quiet and maintains good balance throughout the swing. He shows a solid feel for the barrel through a line drive type approach. Power numbers will increase as he learns to keep his hands and barrel through the baseball at contact. Chris has potential abilities with a lot of room to improve.
