LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 National Showcase
Roberto Pena is a 2018 3B/RHP with a 6-2 205 lb. frame from Pembroke Pines, FL who attends Charles W Flanagan HS. Big and strong athletic build, pretty mature physically. 7.11 runner, has good athleticism and footwork at third base, huge raw arm strength. Right handed hitter, crouched stance at the plate with a high hand load, very good raw bat speed, ball really comes off the barrel hard when he's on top of it, tends to get hands too far inside at times, best when getting the barrel out front and turned, potential to be a very high level hitter. Has really taken a step forward on the mound, lower arm slow from drop and drive mechanics, arm stroke is very smooth and easy, gets crossfire angle to the plate. Steady low 90's fastball, topped out at 93 mph, threw both a curveball and slider but slider a much better pitch at present, gets around it but has good spin and can be tightened up. Very interesting ceiling on both sides of the ball. Good student, verbal commitment to Florida.
