Perfect Game Grades
Best PG Grade 9 June 2017
National Top Prospect
“Wesley Diamantis -Large, athletic frame with long limbs and a strong, mature build with present strength proportioned throughout. Primary first baseman, fields the ball out front and hands play at the ball, shows a short and quick arm action through the backside, tall target to throw to across diamond, solid arm strength and carry at present, shows accuracy out of hand when on top of the ball. Left-handed hitter, begins with an open and tall stance in the box with a high hand set and back elbow. Does a nice job of incorporating lower half into swing and creates torque, shows quickness to hands with a line drive swing plane. Shows leverage to path with sound present bat speed, looks to pull the ball and can do so with authority and backspin, shows carry off the barrel and stays through the ball well with loud contact to the pull side. Good student.”
Baseball Factory – 2017 Preseason All American
“Wesley Diamantis – a LHH first baseman who looks to be a run producer at the next level. He stands in the box confidently and has rhythm to his approach and stroke. His hanging stride lets him stalk the pitch and his LH stroke is smooth, efficient and on-time. He finds the barrel with regularity and has gap power with flashes of pull HR power. He is a mature hitter who is willing to use the entire field. At 1B Wesley shows sure hands, good feet and body control. He’s comfortable around the bag and provides a good, reliable target for his infielders. Overall, this is a polished LH bat that can handle good pitching.”
