Mario Feliciano

Puerto Rico's strong draft class includes a solid crop of catchers, led by Feliciano. The righthanded hitter has a powerful bat and is capable of driving the ball out of the park, particularly to his pull side. But he also shows some feel for hitting and does a good job of keeping his hands in the zone. Unlike most catchers, Feliciano is not a base clogger, as he posted near-average run times on the showcase circuit. Behind the plate, he has above-average arm strength and uses his athleticism well as a receiver. Like most young catchers, Feliciano will require further refinement as a defender, but has the tools necessary to develop. He has not committed to college.
