Impressive look at Gregory Sanchez last week, you can read about it here!

Gregory Sanchez is a prospect to monitor 👀

The 19-year-old Dominican righthander flashed elite traits at the Rockies' complex, headlined by a fastball that touched 100 mph 🔥

IYCMI, Bridge league thoughts from last week

[Baseball America @BaseballAmerica]

Roch Cholowsky wowed the crowd with a home run in his bridge league debut, but the No. 1 overall pick had plenty of tools and traits on display for scouts last weekend.

apologies, this should say $1.4 MM

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Alex Weingartner - Signed for $1,297,500 in 6th round with CHW out of NJ HS. 3x slot value in 6th round. Wide base, easy hand load. Standout physique. Easy loft. Toolsy power speed type. 109 max EV at Combine.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

*apologies, signed for $3MM , $2,504,200 was slot value

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Bo Lowrance - Signed with LAD for $2,504,200 from Greenville, SC HS. Smooth lefty swing. Stable head, gets good look at ball. Quiet pre-slot hands. Bat stays on plane long time. Easy F/T, effortless juice. Already a big kid w/broad SH, could add more strength as he matures.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

@prboylan84 It’s possible he is hurt. Sometimes players will be held back to rehab at the complex before they get sent up.

CF/LF def reps. Efficient swing path but swing often flat, good contact skills. All-fields approach. Weak vs spin. Weird run times, looks faster than I’ve clocked.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Must-see ball in Daytona Beach. The ACL Reds were arguably the most-talented roster in the league, and now they get Alejandro Rivera too? That's a huge talent infusion.

Aaron Watson
Steele Hall
Ryjeteri Merite
Jirvin Morillo
Iker Redona

[Daytona Tortugas @daytonatortugas]

Prior to tonight's game at St. Lucie, the Cincinnati @Reds have announced the following transactions affecting the Daytona Tortugas:

1B Ty Doucette transferred to High-A Dayton
RHP Stharlin Torres transferred to High-A Dayton
1B/OF Drew Davies transferred from Complex League to Daytona Beach
RHP Alejandro Rivera acquired from Cleveland Guardians and assigned to Daytona Beach

Congratulations Ty and Stharlin on your well deserved promotions!

Welcome back, Drew and welcome Alejandro!

@prboylan84 I don’t have any insider info on Pitts. Not sure if you’re trolling me 😂 they keep playing on the complex, but the games aren’t official. They’re basically organized practices. Called Bridge League. Then we have instructs in September.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Carsten Sabathia - Brewers 20th round signee $50k. Capable of high end EVs, but swing looks hard to sync up consistently. Hands slot high with bat wrap, creating length. Inconsistent barrels across bp rounds.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Kyle Casteel - $1,247,500 signee with CHW from Butler HS (PA). Athletic low slot righty. 92-94. 4sm, SI, SL, CHG. Good SP frame 6'4" 205.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Dylan Blomker - Signed by CHC for $880k from La Cueva HS (NM). Big country strong kid. Quad dominant drop-and-drive elements to delivery. 93-94 with big sweeping slider in low 80s.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Tyler Putnam - Signed by COL in 5th round for $1,897,500 3.4x overslot deal. Explosive long-levered righty with big arm speed. Big physical kid, listed 6'5" 200 lb. 95-98 T99 4SM/SI/CUT/SL/CHG.

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Dominic Battista - Signed with KCR for $797,500 from Oswego East HS (IL). Takes big rips swings with malice, not getting cheated. Rotational swing. Clean hand load and bat path. 107 mph max EV in combine

[Jason Pennini @complexscout]

Elliot Lascelles - Big over-slot signee with Padres for $2,800,394 60th overall pick. Excellent defender who really stood out during INF. Throws from different angles. Moves well in all directions and reads it well off the bat. Great body control, smooth fluid mover.
