LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 WWBA Workout Showcase (July 14)
Joe Ayala is a 2023 LHP/OF with a 6-3 190 lb. frame from Haverhill, MA who attends Lawrence Academy. Recorded a 7.23 second sixty-yard dash time. Long, lean frame with a high waist and plenty of room to add strength. Displayed deliberate, long strides to field off to the side, clean gather with some length to it movements and got slightly uphill into release. Recorded developing arm strength up to 78 mph during drills from an over-the-top arm slot with fairly accurate throws to the bags. Left-handed hitter that hits from an open stance with a low, deep hand set and high back elbow. Incorporates a toe-tap trigger for timing and rotational lower half mechanics to get to contact. Lofted stroke with aggressive pullside approach, some strength in his hands and developing feel for the barrel. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and additional strength. Good Student.
