View Draft Report
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Basto was a three-year starter for a three-time state championship team at Archbishop McCarthy. He's a broad-shouldered athlete with good feet and an average arm. He could handle shortstop at the college level but profiles better at second or third as a pro, depending on the development of his bat. He'll need to show more raw power for scouts to see him at third. He's ticketed for Florida International.
