“When it was time for Tim Piasentin to step into the batting cage at Chase Field for the MLB Combine on June 18, the 18-year-old slugger was so nervous that he was almost shaking.
“I had to put a bunt down for my first pitch and I bunted it straight back and I’m like, ‘Oh, no, this isn’t going to go well,’” recalled Piasentin. “Then the first swing I took I caught a barrel, and it was 105 [mph] or something like that off the bat and I’m like, ‘OK, we’re good.’”
The Coquitlam, B.C. native was more than good that day.
He put on a show, smacking several home runs that registered exit velocities higher than 100 mph. That performance certainly helped his draft stock and the following month he was selected in the fifth round by the Toronto Blue Jays.”
