PREVIOUS SCOUTING REPORTS:
On the day we saw Veliz at the College PREP Program in Delray Beach, he was one of 7 Division I commits at the ballpark — making for one of the most impressive displays of talent we’d see all year. That day produced two Under Armour All-Americans (Veliz along with Alex Toral). His scouting report appears below:

An exceptional athlete with a strong body and arm, Veliz projects best on the mound with his low 90s fastball. Low effort balanced delivery, works from a three-quarters slot to generate excellent life. Reached up to 92 but can throw harder. 2-seamer was up to 91 and looked like a sinking/tailing bowling bowl – could get through a lineup with only that pitch. Spins a curveball with very good rotation, change is a work in progress. Has the makings of a mid 90s sinker/slider guy in the future.

Plays SS and has good feet, adequate hands and plenty of arm strength from different slots. Confident and athletic defender, probably best suited for 3B. A left-handed hitter with present strength. Uses lower half well. When in sync it comes off very hard.
