BA's #8 Prospect: Yoandy Barroso, Haymarket

Let's get back to business, shall we?

Today we'll take a look at Yoandy Barroso, who played in Haymarket during the summer. A senior, Barroso played two years at Miami-Dade, and then transferred to Florida International in 2009. Here's what Baseball America had to say about Barroso:

8. Yoandy Barroso, of, Haymarket (Sr., Florida International)

As a junior last spring, Barroso hit .377/.444/.536, helping Florida International to its first NCAA regional since 2002...a physical specimen at 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, Barroso has a level-planed swing that is capable of producing hard line drives, although it currently lacks lift, which hides his power potential...a 40th-round pick by the Rangers out of high school in 2007, Barroso went undrafted as a junior this June, but his sound overall abilities should make him a good senior sign in 2011.

I agree- a good senior sign. Yoandy was a critical piece of the Senator's lineup last summer, helping them to the best record in the regular season.
