Rob Calabrese, C. DOB: 10/13/1995. B-R, T-R. 6'1", 205 lbs. Drafted 2017 Round 10.
2017 College: .353/.425/.583, 23 2B, 8 HR, 20 BB, 26 K, 243 PA.
2017 SS: .277/.369/.383, 5 2B, 3B, HR, 10.8 BB%, 27.9 K%, 111 PA.
Rob Calabrese led his University of Illinois-Chicago into the college playoffs with a breakout junior campaign capped by a 10'th round draft selection by the Giants. He also performed well in 2 wood bat leagues hitting .269 in the New England Collegiate League in 2015 and .306 in the Northwoods League where he earned the nickname Robbie Big Fly despite hitting just 1 HR. Calabrese was noted primarily for his defense prior to his offensive breakout in 2017. Videos show a short, quick, choppy swing which puts backspin on the ball. He showed nice plate discipline in his pro debut with limited power in a SSS. Could move up to San San Jose in 2018. Sleeper Alert.
