LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Spring Top Prospect Showcase
C Alex Vertcnik: Vertcnik is a switch-hitting junior catcher from Wisconsin with a good balance of skills. He has good quickness behind the plate and threw well both in the Showcase and in the games, getting his pop times right down near 2.00. Vertcnik’s swing from the left side was much smoother and had better bat speed and plane than from the right side. He made solid contact and showed some line drive pop with wood. Vertcnik could do some things to firm up his body and improve his quickness, which would improve his skills even more.
