AZL Notes - Cleveland Indians

AZL Notes - Cleveland Indians

From 8/20-8/26 I bore down on the AZL Cleveland Indians Red. Gabriel Rodriguez and Daniel Espino both have star potential. Rodriguez is a shortstop with strong hands and plus power projection. Espino pairs premium velocity with two breaking balls that flash plus. Yordys Valdes is a quick-twitch shortstop with smooth defensive actions and great hands. I also caught the Indians Blue team a few times in cross-coverage and again in the AZL playoffs. Aaron Bracho was arguably the most-polished hitter in the AZL. Jhonkensy Noel is an incredibly strong (recently turned 18-year-old) first base prospect with immense raw power. Jose Tena is a middle-infielder with easy plus bat speed and impressive bat to ball skills.
