LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Showcase
Keith Weinkofsky is a 2007 right hand hitting catcher from Ocean Township HS, residing in Oakhurst, NJ. He has a big, strong, mature body type on his thick 6'3" 225 lb. frame. Weinkofsky certainly grabs your attention with his physical presence. He also showed some ability and was ranked #95 among PG National Top 100 position players. Weinkofsky hits from an open stance and stays open during his swing. He has a short finish to that swing and does have some power. For the most part he stayed inside the ball and appeared more concerned with being short to the ball, focusing on making hard contact than getting extension and letting his big arms free. In his zone he does have power, which would be on the inner half where he can jerk the ball. He looked like the type of hitter that is a good high ball hitter and at times he appeared very close to putting it all together. Weinkofsky did a nice job of keeping his hands back and in time should provide some pop, with low strikeout numbers and a decent average. One thing he is not is a greedy hitter. Behind the plate he showed himself to be a good receiver. Weinkofsky presents a big target to throw to, which he also would at 1st base. His arm was accurate and his pop times are approaching average. His raw arm strength is pretty solidly average. Weinkofsky ran 4.67 home/1st with a 7.42 60 yard time. He is a big and physical catcher with a chance to hit for some power and that will get him plenty of looks from D1 programs and possibly some area scout attention.
