LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 Scorpions (TX) Prospect Showcase (2028-2030 Grads)  
Nelson Rivero is a 2028 SS/RHP/2B with a 5-6 130 lb. frame from Cypress, TX who attends Bridgeland. Smaller wiry athletic build. 6.97 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense with shorter, explosive arm action. Gets into his legs well with good direction on low line throws, glove works through the funnel. Projects to stay on the dirt with quickness and effort. Also showed well on the mound with compact mechanics, some deception, and ability to spin both his breaking ball and changeup with confidence. Good tempo and intent, competes well. Right-handed hitter with a narrow upright stance and deep hand load. Some barrel accuracy, flashes of contact with feel. Can improve efficiency through the zone with better lower half engagement. Strength will help long term. Shows good energy and baseball IQ all around the field.
