Scouting Report: Panos is a quality backstop who handles a staff of future college pitchers nicely on his high school team as well as in summer ball. Receives the ball well and blocks up, consistently keeps the ball in front of him. Pop time is between 2.02-2.27. Has arm strength (low 80's on mound) but could refine his footwork on throws to second. Panos handles the bat well and will hit for average, has proven he can hit future college level pitchers. Mostly pullside hitter, can get the barrel out on pitchers with plus velocity, however also has shown he can hit the ball the other way in games against quality pitching. He can be a count runner and will not clog up the base path. His home to 1st times range from 4.1-4.3. Panos has a high ceiling and his potential will increase with a college training/nutritional program. A sure follow in the 2017 class.
