There's a detailed scouting report on every prospect on the first page . I think it's hard to really say what his ceiling is since he's a 5'9 16 year old who already throws 95 MPH.
14. Eric Pardinho, rhp, Brazil
Born: Jan. 5, 2001. Height: 5-9. Weight: 160. B-T: R-R.
Pardinho made his mark last year in July at the COPABE 16U Pan American Championship in Panama. Pitching in front of a slew of high-ranking scouts against a Dominican team that featured top 2017 prospects, Pardinho struck out 14 batters with only one walk in six innings. The in September as a 15-year-old, Pardinho pitched out of the bullpen for Brazil in the World Baseball Classic qualifier in New York.
No 16-year-old pitcher this year has a better combination of present stuff and pitchability than Pardinho. His fastball sits at 88-92 mph and can reach 94. He throws a sharp, tight-spinning curveball with true top-to-bottom action that already flashes plus and gives him an out pitch. Pardinho throws with minimal effort from an easy delivery with smooth arm action and good extension. He repeats his mechanics, throws strikes at a high rate and has feel to pitch well beyond his years.
There’s little disagreement among scouts about Pardinho’s present ability, but the common risk factor most cite is how much better he will get. He has a small stature and doesn’t have a large frame on his upper body to fill out while his lower half is already strong, so his physical projection to gain velocity may be limited. Compared to other shorter righthanders at the top of recent classes, Pardinho doesn’t have the same electric upside as Anderson Espinoza, but he has a better delivery and better chance to start than Marcos Diplan. The Blue Jays are certainly comfortable with smaller righthanders with homegrown Marcus Stroman in their rotation. They’re expected to sign Pardinho, who is represented by Rafael Nieves.
