CA State Games: Uncommitted; The 5-foot-10, 180-pound infielder is going to play major college baseball and he has the bat talent that also projects to the professional level. He's put together well, is a solid runner (7.13) and can adaquately man either 2B or 3B and likely a corner OF spot. What matters most is the impact hitting talent. The term 'hitterish' defines him the second he steps into the box. There is a confident and somewhat menacing presence he brings to the plate. His contact is LOUD and the ball screams off hit bat to all fields. He keeps the barrel behind the ball with attack angle to produce extra base hits and finishes through contact with balance. Each time he stepped to the plate at CA State Games, there was anticipation for a ball to be hit VERY hard.
Physical: 5-10, 180 pounds; Proportional, athletic build. 7.73 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Short take back with the hands with a moderate leg kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a two handed finish with good extension. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 95.00 MPH via Trackman. Smooth RH stroke. Consistent contact point out front with a good feel for the middle of the field. Barrel takes a good path with on-plane efficiency of 79%. Some power to the pullside.
Defensively: INF - 75.00 MPH. Relaxed and clean actions. Let the ball come to him but is low to the ground with soft hands. Quick exchange into throwing hand. Average time to release, at times using a glove-tap. Accurate arm with 6/6 throws being on-line. Average arm strength. Short arm action.
Trujillo is an intriguing player for coaches to know as he demonstrates advanced skills behind the plate for his age. With looser hips and solid receiving skills, he moves well defensively, playing with energy, and exhibiting the ability to block balls. The right-handed hitter will be aided by more strength in the future, but currently has a short stroke with a direct path.
