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:

Andres Madrigal, 17 year-old LF out of Dominican Republic
Lean and athletic, Andres Madrigal hails from San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic. He projects to hit for a high average with his smooth swing. He has a fluid swing and shows above average power potential. He should be very good at taking bad pitches and drawing walks. Madrigal has a high ceiling and projects well on the field and at the plate.

David Patino, 17 year-old RF out of Venezuela
Lean and athletic, David Patino hails from San Felipe, Venezuela. His power potential grades out as plus-plus. The ball explodes off his bat. He has good recognition of balls and strikes. At maturity he should be a league average hitter. Patino 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:
Julio Cuevas, 16 year-old CF out of Dominican Republic
David Dettori, 16 year-old LHP out of Venezuela
Jorge Masias, 16 year-old RHP out of Dominican Republic
Mauricio Paniagua, 17 year-old SS out of Dominican Republic
Juan Ponces, 16 year-old CF out of Venezuela
Juan Anaya, 16 year-old RHP out of Dominican Republic
Alvaro Esparza, 17 year-old LF out of Venezuela
Luis Rivera, 16 year-old SS out of Dominican Republic

Monday, October 27th , 2036
Chris Wagner has suffered a setback in his recovery. He is not expected to recover for another 8 months.

As if the playoff result wasn’t bad enough, the Royals found out that Chris Wagner will need shoulder surgery and will pass at least the first half of the 2037 season.
