October 26, 201213 yr Article in the Trib about Rienzo attracting scouts' attention in Arizona. Includes a video at the top. Some highlights... --Fastball hitting 95 in AFL --Has two fastballs, one is a cutter --Also has a "sharp slider and a changeup" --Plays athletically on the defensive side, good foot work --Pitching motion similar to Orel Hershiser
October 27, 201213 yr He's been making some waves lately, heard about him too. Struck out 5 batters in a row, #5 on the BA's AFL prospect list. He's going to be 25 next season, so now's the time to see what he's got.
October 27, 201213 yr That video makes him quite endearing. I like his story, being a Brazilian baseball player. I hope he makes it.

If he was just your average American born or central American born player, I wouldn't care as much, but since he's from Brazil, I think that's pretty damn cool and I pay much closer attention. Hope he makes it. Let's see if he impressive in the spring.
