Noah
Gaietto

C/INF Noah Gaietto (Amundsen) had an all-around strong showing this past Sunday. He took a couple strong rounds of defense, starting behind the plate where he worked down to 2.00 for his pop-time with a clean glove to hand transfer and steady footwork. On the infield, he looks to have sure-handed actions with a steady gather out front, pairing with a serviceable arm across the diamond (T83 mph). At the plate, the right-handed hitter showed an easy, uphill swing with little perceived effort, creating some jump off the barrel to his pull-side with ease (T99 mph EV; 90 mph avg; T388’). Versatile athlete still on the market that can fill in around the diamond.
