10/15/2008 - Arizona Senior Fall Classic - 2008 Alfieri showed a strong arm and excellent throwing mechanics in the outfield. After we last saw him, we recommended he play more outfield than first base - as such, he is relatively new to the OF and still working on reads off the bat, angles to balls and overall feel for the position. However, he runs well enough and shows the physical skills to eventually be solid at least. At the plate, he showed above average bat speed along with some power potential. Can work to track the ball better, and to be more aggressive in general. On the mound, he showed good balance and loose arm action. He attacked the zone with his 75-78 fastball, and got quite a few ground balls. Can work to stay closed longer with his front side, and needs to quicken his tempo. Overall, has a great body and athletic ability - needs to play and pitch more, has potential to further develop his skills.
