LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 National Showcase
Austin Wood is a 2016 RHP/1B with a 6-5 197 lb. frame from Niwot, CO who attends Silver Creek HS. Prototype young projectable pitcher's build, really looks the part. Slow paced delivery, over the top arm slot, gets downhill very well, bit cross body at release, uses lower half well to drive to the plate, slow to the plate and will have to make adjustments from the stretch at the next level. Upper 80's fastball, topped out at 91 mph, keeps his fastball low in the zone with angle, mostly straight. Soft curveball but throws it for strikes with a short 12/6 break, also tends to slow his release on a soft change up. Projecting velocity is easy with additional strength and physical maturity, improving secondary pitches will be key to his development. Good student.
