Lorenzo
Rios

Presbyterian commit, currently ranked No. 147 in Illinois. Physical, evenly proportioned frame, 6-foot-2, 205-pounds. Hit lead-off and started behind the plate for No. 17 Yorkville on Tuesday. At the plate, the left-handed hitter moves with a fluid load into a repeatable stride; his hands work quick and direct to the ball with a level path, remaining loose throughout the operation with his arms and upper-half - also demonstrating a mature/patient approach at the plate, working at-bats and getting deep into counts. Behind the plate, Rios possesses reliable/receptive hands; working underneath the ball to pull it up into the zone, also working to frame close pitches with minimal movement in his hands. His arm plays with backspin from a short, high ¾ slot while actively controlling the run game; also popping a 2.03 down to second during warmups.
