12/13/2020 - National Evaluation and Tryout - Fresno, CA Gerardo continues to shine on the diamond with improvements in his baseball abilities. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner to center balls well out front. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.37 with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At 1B, he displays smooth / athletic actions. Feet are active as he shows proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a crouched setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.
