Recommendation: Dakota Duffalo has a projectable frame with a smooth right-handed swing and natural actions in both the infield and outfield. Dakota repeats his swing very well, and currently has a gap to gap line drive swing with much more power to come. He has a knack for putting together quality at bats in clutch situations, and his knowledge of the game of baseball is advanced for his age. With Dakota’s ability to play multiple positions above average, as well as an advanced hit tool and power projection, he is a surefire Division 1 prospect and will be able to help a Collegiate team early with his bat.

Recommendation: This letter is to inform you on Dakota Duffalo. I have coached Dakota for the past six years in baseball, in both club ball and high school. I've actually had the pleasure of coaching him in both football and baseball since he was 5 years old. What an outstanding young man. His work ethic is second to none. Very respectful. True teammate. His knowledge of the game of baseball is second to none. Since the age of 11, I could tell Dakota something one time and he picked it up like he had been doing it all along. Very smart base runner. Very smart fielder. Makes great adjustments at the plate. Dakota does nothing real flashy! Dakota just gets it done!! Pitching, hitting, running bases, and defense. Makes routine plays look routine. Can make the highlight ones look just as easy. Very few physical errors since I've coached him. Mental errors are almost never. Dakota's knowledge of the game goes further than that. His work ethic in the classroom is just as impressive as his skills on any field. If you have any further questions about Dakota, please feel free to contact me at the number or e-mail address listed.
