Luis Guillorme has been catching the eye of scouts early on in spring training, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. “He is not a body beautiful guy, but the scouts like the lefty swinger’s actions on both sides of the ball.” What we already know about Guillorme is the fantastic glove work.
