PG:

Arnaldo Berrios is a 2014 OF with a 5-10 167 lb. frame from Barranquitas, PR who attends Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy. Compact athletic build, good present strength especially in the lower half. 6.90 runner, good range in centerfield, charges the ball hard, good exchange and release, nice arm strength with accurate on line carry, shows his athleticism defensively. Switch hitter, very aggressive game at bats, showed very good bat speed in games after a tentative batting practice, busy hand load, gets to his front side early, has the strength to get the ball up the gaps. Good student.

Pretty strong indication here that the Mets have signed Berrios.

Considering his past tweets, almost certain that Berrios is in the fold.

Awesome. Rubin is going to have a field day with this if he becomes a legit prospect.

I have a feeling he was our Plan B to Raphael Ramirez. I think this probably means we're not signing Ramirez.

@msbiancaxo: My cousin Arnaldo Berrios from Barranquitas is gonna be part of the New York Mets soon !!

cool, this was one of the few kids I was hoping they'd be able to sign. Gray and Bonfield being the others.

[ilikeike29]

Sounds like he's official.

[R Nitelight]

Officially assigned to the GCL.

[HeyNowHK]

this is one that I am mildly excited about.

Off to a nice start. Thank you, Carlos.
