Valdes continues his hot start to the 2023 campaign at the Best of the West. One of the toughest outs in the country, Valdes takes mature at-bats, fouling off difficult pitches and with good discipline. Collected multiple hits over the past 2 games for OBJ, including a bases clearing double against the Langley Blaze. Premier defender in the OF, Valdes also tracked down multiple deep fly-balls in the gaps and over his head. The West Virginia commit is one of the top outfielders in the country and continues to show why.
2024 OF Jorge Valdes was the leadoff man for Langley on Sunday and opened it up with a base knock the other way. He swiped third base before coming around to score and we immediately got a look at his speed and hit tools. Showed well in the outfield throughout the game with ability to cover ground and track down balls. Continues to stand out each time our staff gets eyes on him. West Virginia commit.
Valdes put together one of the best all-around days from the Canadian positional players and he started his day by running the top 60-time at 6.55. Small frame at 5-foot-9, 165-pounds and can get it done offensively and defensively, although his defending CF is his biggest separator. Left-handed hitter with a level swing that was working to all fields with line drives during BP. Athletic outfielder to keep tabs on in Ontario these next couple years.
