Rodriguez is encouraged by the number of top-notch Puerto Rican pitching prospects that are here this weekend, including right-handers Edwin Diaz on Team Mizuno Puerto Rico and Jose Orlando Berrios on the Florida Legends Scout Team. Middle infielders Carlos Correa (PRBAHS) and Jesmuel Valentin Diaz (PRBAHS) and catchers Tomas Nido (Cardinal Scout Team/FTB Mizuno) and Wilfredo Rodriguez (PRBAHS) are the top-ranked position players. Correa stands a rung ahead of the rest. A student at PRBAHS, the primary shortstop is ranked the nation’s No. 7 overall prospect and No. 1 at his position. He has entertained collegiate offers from Miami, Florida State, Liberty and Vanderbilt, among others, but is yet to verbally commit. It seems certain he will be a first round draft pick. Outfielder Reymond Fuentes was the last player selected in the first round of the draft to come straight out of a Puerto Rico high school when he was taken 28th overall by the Red Sox in 2009.

Carlos Correa (Santa Isabel PR) – From a tools standpoint, he is a top ten talent. He still continues to have the heavy pull load and ends in a position rather elongated through the zone. He displays the bat speed to allow for these late action approaches, but will have to compact to stay effective. He is sound defensively and will make all the plays, but he looks bottom heavy in the future and might have to move to third base. He shows the traits for an impressive stick and professional instruction could make for a kid with dual type threat bat. He made himself a jumper on my big board with his clutch hitting display this weekend.
Thanks!
