Scouting Video: Stefan Sabol, C, Aliso Niguel (CA) HS (2010 Draft)

Here’s one more look at Stefan Sabol before the draft. This is a short clip, but this is a good thumbnail description of what kind of player this is and will be in the future. Athletically, he belongs on the field. This has always been one of the things I’ve liked most about him. If he stays behind the plate in the coming years, he’ll need to continue refining his defense. I keep coming back to the Biggio compairson. I look at his combination of offensive and athletic ability, the fact that he can run enough to help, the fact that his arm is strong enough to make the off-balanced double play throw, the fact that I bet he could go to his left and plug the hole, and I imagine second base. I think there will be better defensive catchers in front of him. Now, maybe I’m wrong. If he becomes a better defender behind the plate in the coming years, I’ll say, OK, tip my hat. But if he hits he plays, and if he plays, you maximize his athletic value. Where that will be? Call me in a few years and we’ll find out. Either way, he’s a solid high school draft. Good luck on the minor league side because I have a feeling we’ll see you there first.
