Riverside Co. Preseason All-State: First thing you notice with Rizzo is the wiry strong frame at 5-foot-11, 155-pounds, that has ample room for continued mass gains. That strength showed itself at the plate where he uses as simple leg lift trigger from an upright stance that has a little bat waggle before driving down into the ball. Favored the right-center field gap while showing his ability to square the ball up consistently. Defensively he Rizzo showed excellent footwork with more quickness than speed in getting to balls. Backhand was true while the hands were quick/clean in exchanges, including the double play turns. Arm strength is fair at 76 mph, but it’s accurate and shows ability to make throws from various angles.
Through two games, has consistently delivered results - collecting hits, scoring runs and making plays at shortstop hitting in the leadoff spot for Trosky National. Has a clear plan in the box, middle-out approach without much swing/miss, as he showed with another hit back up the box to start the game. Seemingly on base all the time and scores run. Plays the game hard and under control. All-around baller on the field.
