09/11/2016 - National Tryout - La Verne (Los Angeles), CA Marcelo is a young, two way player who continues to show potential on the field. At 1B, Marcelo uses his quick, active feet to field ground balls in the center of his body. He presents his glove well and has a clean exchange to throw from a high 3/4 angle. He gains momentum to his target well which leads to his throws being consistently accurate and on-line. Marcelo can improve defensively by lowering his chest more when fielding ground balls. At the plate, Marcelo shows good balance and takes a square stride to the ball. He is smooth getting into his load and comes through the zone with his lower half, finishing with a firm front side. He takes an on-plane route to the ball which allows him to drive the ball to his pull side. More power will come as Marcelo continues to grow into his body. On the mound, Marcelo shows a three pitch mix with his fastball sitting from 64-65mph. Slider ranges form 49-52mph with 10-4 movement. Changeup sits from 52-56mph with good cutting action. Marcelo can improve as a pitcher by loosening up his mechanics. Overall, Marcelo continues to improve and shows great potential which makes him a player to follow.
