LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Tyler Newton is a 2018 LHP/1B/OF with a 5-11 165 lb. frame from Roswell, GA who attends Centennial HS. Medium frame with slender build; body projects somewhat moving forward. Primary left-handed pitcher, raises leg high into windup, lands online with good clearing of hips, longer arm action to high three quarters arm slot. Fastball worked 73-78 MPH with slight sinking life; showed solid feel for curveball with 1/7 shape and plenty of depth. Did a good job filling up the zone with both pitches and keeping hitters off balance. Sets up to hit from spread-out, even-based stance with high back elbow set. High finish with semi-lofted plane, shows good pop to the pull side when barrel gets out front, solid job of driving the ball into the air. Very good student.
