Daily Video Rundown

Alessandro Ercolani

The 18-year-old Ercolani took a break from his time with the Florida Complex League Pirates to pitch for the 18-Under Italy team on Tuesday. He had a good outing, pitching 3 1/3 innings, allowing five hits, two earned runs, two walks while striking out four. He threw 70 pitches, 39 of which went for strikes.

Ercolani blew several fastballs by hitters, and while he didn’t control the slider great, he had some good break on it.
