Draft Prospects
-
A defensive-first, switch-hitter, Vasquez stands out for his ability to handle shortstop at a high level. He has quick, choppy footwork and a solid first-stop to go with impressive hands and above-average arm strength. He’s a confident defender up the middle and in the hole to his backhand, with above-average range and standout body control. He’s not a great runner, but he has solid speed, and while he’s only 5-foot-11, 165-pounds, he’s shown sneaky pop in the bat. At East Coast Pro, Vasquez barreled an 87 mph fastball that came off his bat at 96 mph and he also homered at an East Coast Pro tryout in Cary, N.C. early last summer. Vasquez is committed to South Carolina and could significantly boost his stock by performing with the bat there, but teams are intrigued with his high-level defensive ability.
