12/27/2012 - Under Armour Recruiting Classic Vela continues to show as a SS/RHP but currently projects at SS for the next level. Feet are athletic as he works around ground balls and plays through well with body. Hands are soft / clean / sure as he presents well out front. Throws are accurate as he gets rid of the baseball quickly but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Vela shows a balanced / athletic setup with rhythm. Hands are loose, smooth and work slightly uphill through his swing path. Power numbers will continue to improve as he improves bat speed and learns to use his lower half more. At the event, he was 3 for 8. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 75-76 mph on a slight downhill plane. Breaking ball shows potential as being a quality pitch, displaying 12/6 shape with sharp break. Command / control are a plus as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as more arm strength is gained. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be. Jaime has a lot of potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches as he continues to improve.
