Dominic is a hard working 2 way player that continues to impress as he grows. At the hot corner, he shows very active feet, working around and attacking the ball to get into a proper position to make strong/accurate throws. Fielding slightly lower with his hips, which will get his hands out in front will improve the sureness of his hands. On the mound he shows very good control with his fastball and 10-4 curveball, stemming from his strong balance and clean arm action. At the plate, Dominic is a very aggressive hitter that shows impressive power to his pull side, a product of his good setup, square stride and loaded hands that explode through the zone. Keeping his head still through his swing will result in more consistent contact to compliment his power. Overall a very solid player already, Dominic will be an exciting prospect to track over the years.
12/27/2015 - Baseball Factory Winter Classic - Session 2
Dominic is progressing very well in the game from offense to defense to pitching. Defensively at the hot corner, he is working low to make plays and stays through ground balls to gain momentum to throw. He used the proper footwork to throw after catch and should continue to implement a throwing program for even more strength. Offensively, he was soft to stride on his front side, allowing his head to stay centered and his lower half to get engaged to hit. He generated good bat whip through the zone and rotated his core to help the torque. On the hill, he threw a FB with run and sink, and spun a 10/4 SL to help keep hitters off balance. He kept the ball down in the zone and wasn't afraid to attack hitters. In all - Dominic is a great kid that works hard and asks questions to improve and take his game to the next level.
