Riverside Co. Preseason All-State: First viewing of Aguayo in a showcase setting after having seen him behind the dish for King in the Palm Desert tourney in December. Aguayo, the 25th ranked player in the Class of 2023 State Rankings, shows poise and technique beyond his years. Sticks the ball well, often beating it to the spot and buying pitchers strikes. Receives with soft hands while getting around the ball easily. Very solid fundamentally with quickness in movements. Blocks with chest consistently pointed at the target. His normally accurate arm was a tick off in this viewing despite registering pop-times in the 1.99-203 range consistently. Registered a 79 mph exit velocity which was a slight uptick from a showcase in September. Shows feel for hitting with hands inside the ball and looking to stay the other way. Bat should continue to improve with added strength.
Uncommitted. Five-foot-11, 145-pounds. Large frame that is lean and wiry strong with a high waist and twitchy athleticism. At the plate Aguayo is short to the ball and long through it with feel for the barrel and a knack for squaring balls up. Gets fully extended after contact. Shows an all fields approach while favoring the gaps. If power develops as one could expect, Aguayo could develop into a high doubles type hitter. Has some strength down through the arms, particularly in the wrists that comes to light when he’s behind the plate. Frames/sticks pitches with ease while working below the ball from his low setup. The arm plays now with its accuracy and speed. Exchanges were clean and footwork was above average as he explodes out of crouch and into throwing position without any wasted actions. Very projectable player both defensively and offensively.
