LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 World Showcase
We’ve seen Evans throw many times in the past and this might have been his best performance. We’d heard reports that he’d stepped up his raw stuff during the fall and the World Showcase confirmed it. Evans has a mature 6-1, 190 lb. body with a strong lower half that he uses well in his delivery. Evans fastball was 85-87 mph and he did a good job throwing it to spots both inside and outside to right hand hitters. Evans would turn this pitch over at 76-78 mph as sort of a combination change up/sinker. His curveball was sharp at times at 72-74 mph and had a consistent big break that will be intimidating to left handed hitters. Evans is a top notch student who has signed to attend South Alabama. It's been reported that Eric has been up around 90, so with his pitchability he should create some serious scouting interest.
