Focus Area |
Comments |
Hitting Ability: | Moustakas can flat-out hit and has potential to hit for average and power. |
Power: | He's a left-handed hitter with serious power. He homered three times in this game. |
Running Speed: | Moustakas is a below-average runner. |
Arm Strength: | Moustakas has an above-average cannon for an arm. |
Fielding: | He plays shortstop for his high school team, with fellow draft prospect Matt Dominguez at third, but Moustakas profiles as a third baseman in the future. He's not bad around the bag at short currently. |
Range: | Moustakas has limited range, a reason why he'll probably move to third as a pro. |
Physical Description: | Moustakas, a one-time catcher, has cleaned up his body quite a bit and is more athletic than he's been in the past as a power-hitting lefty. |
Medical Update: | Healthy. |
Strengths: | His bat and his arm strength. |
Weaknesses: | His defensive range. |
Summary: | While Matt Dominguez gets most of the publicity at Chatsworth HS, Moustakas -- a former Team USA member -- has been just as hot. He made teams pay when they tried to pitch around Dominguez. Both have the chance to be special hitters. |
