12/27/2014 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 Gianni is a natural leader on the field who has also been blessed with a strong arm. Defensively, he has good footwork, nice arm action, and sure hands. Continuing to improve with athletic development activities will help boost his speed and jumps on the ball. On the mound, he works fast, throws a lot of strikes, and showed that his curveball can be an effective out pitch. Offensively, Gianni has good rhythm, balance, and a good finish through the zone. As he learns to incorporate his lower half into his swing, he will see steady improvement at the plate. Having seen Gianni a few times now, we know that he is a team leader and a great person, and he has a drive & a desire to succeed that many high schoolers do not have. He will be an excellent addition to any college program.
