11/17/2013 - College PREP - Houston, TX Rubio continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.50 runner. Defensive grades have improved, now showing solid average. He utilizes his feet well in taking proper routes / angles in tracking down balls and works to get behind, playing through well with his body. Throws are accurate but he will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared / athletic setup. Hands are loose, and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grades to continue to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more.
