2021 Sunshine East Showcase
Diego Aponte is a 2022 1B/OF with a 6-2 185 lb. frame from Bayamon, PR who attends Puerto Rico Baseball Academy. Recorded a 7.88 second 60-yard dash time. Good size with some present physicality and strength throughout. Primary first baseman with snatchy hands and a compact arm action. Clean arm stroke with feel for the position and recorded the charge in play nicely with throws up to 80 mph across the infield. Left-handed hitter with quick hands and gets his lower half into the barrel nicely. Consistent and repeatable stroke with a good bit of strength at the point of contact. Natural loft to the swing plane and backspins balls nicely with a swing and profile that projects for big power at physical maturation. Great student.
