LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Caribbean Top Prospect Showcase  
Dariel Rivera is a 2016 RHP with a 6-3 160 lb. frame from Caguas, PR who attends Dr. Juan J Osuna. Extremely projectable young pitcher's build, slender hips with lots of room to fill out and get stronger. Loose whippy arm action, pause at the top of his delivery to let arm catch up, delivery is very well sequenced and works, high 3/4's arm slot, powers downhill very well with all his pitches. Fastball topped out at 90 mph, lived in the upper 80's for four innings, outstanding fastball life at times, was still hitting 90 in the third inning, lots more velocity in there with additional strength. Curveball not consistent but flashed plus spin and bite at times, morphed into a sweeping slider at times. As projectable a young pitcher as one will see, was topping out at 81 at this event last year, compares with the top Puerto Rican pitching prospects of the last decade.
