Sebastian Zayas o...Personal Statement
I am from Puerto Rico and bilingual. I was committed to a D1 school Chicago State University but due to Covid they cancel the program. One of the most important things for me is get that college degree and help contribute the team to win. I always give my hundred percent inside and outside the field. I want to show what I am capable of. I am a player coach, I will play anywhere in the field and I am open to what a coach wants to do with me.

- Sebastian continues to show as a top prospect at the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament. At 1B, he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are soft/sure and he showed the ability to pick balls out of the dirt, saving throws. Feet/hands work well together as he gets rid of the baseball quickly with accuracy/carry (90 mph velocity) on his throws. He moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. At the plate, he shows as a switch hitter with similar abilities from both sides. Hands are quick (84 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. Barrel accuracy is a plus and he has strength in his swing with gap-to-gap pop.

- Listed at 6’1”, 190 LBS, Zayas is a SHH 1B/OF who plays above average defense and showed the ability to handle the bat from both sides of the plate. Zayas’ ability to switch hit is not a skill that has not been seen before, but he does do it significantly better than most “switch-hitters” that attempt to do so at this level. Most players at this level who attempt to switch hit have glaring differences between their swings/proficiency from each side, but Zayas was relatively balanced, minus the power aspect. Zayas is naturally a RHH, which is to be expected because not many natural LHH try to hit right-handed as well. Zayas will generate more power from the right side, and even showed his ability to do so- crushing a ball deep over the LF fence during game action. Surprisingly, his swing from the left side very closely mirrored his RHH swing, but with less power. Nonetheless, he showed the ability to control the barrel and make solid contact to all fields. Defensively, he is very fundamentally sound. In RF, he charges the ball well, making sure to receive it out in front and in the center of his body, and he uses his body well to make strong (90 MPH) and accurate throws to all bases. At 1B, his hands are soft and his footwork around the bag is clean and efficient. Shockingly, Zayas is still uncommitted, but that should change very soon.

- Sebastian is a tall, solid 1B who has a promising future on the diamond. Defensive abilities are outstanding as he displays smooth/athletic abilities. Hands and feet work well together through the fielding process. He displays proper footwork around the bag, is a quality receiver, and consistently showed the abilities to pick balls out of the dirt, saving throws. Arm strength is at a pro level (92 mph velocity) with throws displaying life and on line carry. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He shows outstanding power potential as he shows a feel for the barrel with baseball exploding off the bat. Sebastian has big upside and will get looks from collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities.
