Overall, Larrondo is an elite athlete with a projectable body and a quick arm. He has tight spin on his emerging curveball, his second-best pitch. The teenager is an aggressive strike-thrower with a working changeup that is expected to improve once he signs with a team and receives daily instruction in a club’s academy. The right-hander has touched 94 mph with his fastball and usually sits in the 91-to-92 mph range.

MLB.com ranked the 16-year-old Larrondo as the 29th best prospect in the international class while Baseball America had him 43rd. Neither Carela nor Escotto appeared on any top international prospects lists for the 2018-19 signing period.

Miscellaneous Signings

Among the various other low level international signings, the Yankees added 16-year-old Dominican C Agustin Ramirez, who Baseball America ranked as the 48th best prospect in the international class. “He’s a strong-bodied hitter who packs a punch into a compact swing,” says their scouting report. The two sides had been connected for a while. The Yankees have also signed Dominican SS Marcos Cabrera, Venezuelan C Kevin Camacho, Dominican SS Dayro Perez, Venezuelan C Jesus Rodriguez, and Venezuelan LHP Miguel Vargas. None of them were among the most notable international prospects available this year.

I should note that a recent report claiming 18 top international prospects had failed performance-enhancing drug tests has been shot down by MLB, reports Maury Brown. “While we cannot provide any information regarding prospect test results, this report has no truth to it whatsoever,” said an MLB executive. Performance-enhancing drug use is a concern in Latin America, for sure, but this report is bogus. Maybe a jilted trainer or coach was trying to get back at some players or something. Whatever. Anyway, the report is false.

The Yankees and Red Sox will wrap up their three-game weekend series later tonight on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch is scheduled for 8pm ET and I reckon the game will end around midnight.
