LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2003 World Showcase
Manuel is a 6'8/200 P/1B and he's listed as only an "04". He looks much older than your normal "04". He has a good body that looks heavier than 200 lbs., but that is what he's listed. He shows some hitting ability and some power. He hit some line drives with an inside out swing in Ft Myers. He can really play first base, his arm stands out. He pitched in the low 80s with some run on his fastball. Showed good long arm action. The curveball was a slow sweeper at 64 mph. It's hard to know what we got here. He seemed to be having some fun and didn't act like your normal JR in high school. He could be a big prospect waiting to emerge or he could be a former pro playing a joke on all of us.
