"The boy is hitting very well. His career is also good. I saw many people excited with his performance. And I'm very impressed by the large number of scouts who came to see him," said director of international scouting for the Baltimore Orioles Fred Ferreira after the test.

Among those who witnessed his display were seven observers from the Red Sox and representatives of the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians and the Yankees and Mets, among others.
