International Amateurs

We just completed our monthly private practice with many young international amateur free agents who we hope can aid our club in the coming years. It was great to meet the players in-person and get to know them better, and I was able to improve my scouting assessment on all invitees.

In fact some of the players impressed me, since they showcased a higher potential than I had previously expected from them:

Humberto Bustillos, 16 year-old SS out of Dominican Republic
Lean and athletic, Humberto Bustillos hails from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He generates excellent raw power with his bat speed. As he matures he is expected to provide above average defensive value. He should do a good job of working the count. Bustillos has the potential to be an impact player as a shortstop.

Juan Parra, 16 year-old 2B out of Dominican Republic
Lean and athletic, Juan Parra hails from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He has plus power potential. He has a quick bat that handles most fastballs, but off-speed stuff can challenge him. Expect a batting average around .290. He is a quality defensive second baseman. Parra has good potential and a very promising future.

It was a great practice and none of the invitees disappointed in showcasing their talent.

And other players that I was able to further assess were:
Sergio Rivera, 16 year-old CF out of Venezuela
Jorge Medrano, 16 year-old SS out of Dominican Republic
Nelson Montemayor, 16 year-old 2B out of Venezuela
Arturo Navas, 16 year-old CF out of Dominican Republic
Andres Raygoza, 16 year-old 2B out of Dominican Republic
Brendon Rigbye, 16 year-old SS out of Australia
Daniel Soto, 16 year-old 2B out of Venezuela
Ismael Villafane, 17 year-old SS out of Dominican Republic
