11/01/2015 - National Tryout Plus - Midland, TX Mario continues to show well on the diamond. This versatile 2-way player (SS/RHP) has an athletic/strong build. Offensively, this righty has rhythm to load waiting for his pitch. Quick hands whip the barrel to and through the zone as he connects and drives the ball with pop to all parts of the field. At SS, Mario takes good angles and actively works around the GB with smooth actions. He secures the ball with soft hands and gains ground through it toward his target. On the bump, this righty has sound mechanics and pounds the zone with strikes. FB now ranges from 74-77 mph as he can hit his spots well. Curveball shows to be a solid out pitch with 11/5 shape and sharp action. More lower 1/2 drive off of the rubber will help to add velocity on his FB. Mario is a skilled player who has a bright future ahead of him in the game.
