Body: 5-10, 155-pounds. Athletic build with long limbs with room for strength gains.
Hit: RHH. Tall and upright with a slightly open stance. Hands are set right behind the ear. Uses simple forward stride as hands rock back. Compact stroke that worked on a steeper plane. Better contact out in front. At times pulled off with front side but when it stayed closed contact was hard. Pull side approach.
Power: 83 mph exit velocity. Present pullside gap power. Bat speed was there with an average of 74 mph which is above average for his level and shows a good power floor.
Arm: RH. OF - 88 mph. Plus arm was loose and whippy from the OF. Almost all his throws were both accurate and made on the fly which flashed good life/carry. Was also quick to release.
Defense: Athleticism showed as he took good angles and got around the ball. Used forward momentum to get off strong throws. Rhythmic fielder that gloved everything fluidly and in motion.
Run: 6.92 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Athletic delivery. Side steps into a high knee tuck into his back side. As he comes down he dips slightly into his backside but really just drives towards home. Gets good hip-shoulder separation. Online with shoulders and with lower half throughout and lands slightly off to the 1B side.
Arm Action: RH. Longer arm action that showed plus arm speed. Throws out of the H 3/4 slot. Arm starts accelerating as it works back up to release.
FB: T85, 84-85 mph. Gets decent extension on it which gives it deceptive life.
CB: 71-73 mph. Throws it out of the same slot and armspeed as FB.
SL: 73-76 mph. Drops the slot slightly. At times flashed good late bite.
Duarte showcased some of the top athleticism at the entire event even though he is only a 2023. The 5-foot-8, 140-pound leadoff-hitter for the Prospect United 14U team features a high-waist with bouncy-quickness and speed all over the field. He utilized his speed well, dropping down a drag bunt in his first at-bat, but then showcasing a simple approach with spray, line drive power over the course of the weekend. The right-handed hitter has minor hand movement back with a leg kick, and is short to the ball with a quick, level swing. His speed alone makes him a player to know/see, but combined with a projectable toolset/skills, and he has a chance to develop into a threat at the top of an order.
