Scouting Report:
Paxton De La Garza is a shortstop from Coronado High School in Texas. Two traits that everyone I asked about De La Garza came back with were that he has great makeup and plays the game hard.
De La Garza’s tools at the plate project well. He has quick hands and a short stroke with some extra base pop. De La Garza demonstrates good plate coverage. He has a recorded 60 time of 6.80.
Most project De La Garza as a shortstop at the next level. He is steady in the field and shows good range with a strong arm.
Had De La Garza not been injured in the final game of the State 5A Tournament, he would have had more chances to show his skills on the summer showcase circuit. His performance in the spring should be watched closely.
