LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
Stephen Gagnon is a 2017 LHP/OF with a 6-3 155 lb. frame from Pomfret Center, CT who attends Woodstock Academy. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a long, lean build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.19 60-yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, graded out higher as a position player in this look. On the mound begins with a side step into delivery with a high leg lift up slightly past belt, gets tall on backside, and lands on line with a short stride down the mound. Full arm action through the back, works to an extended three-quarters arm slot, able to generate short arm side run to fastball at 74 mph and stays off barrels, will continue to add velocity with additional lower half. Worked mostly arm side, showed 1-7 shape to curveball, short depth at 60 mph, slows arm action slightly on changeup and flashes fade to arm side. Moves well to the ball in the outfield with balance showing long strides, fields the ball out front, full arm action through the ball, fields closer to body, uses mostly arm at release. Righthanded hitter, begins with a high back elbow in the box and uses a high leg lift trigger for timing. Short swing with an inside path, mostly upper body used in swing but creates line drive contact, occasional leverage created out front. Gets to front side early at times, contact approach and shows comfort hitting to pull side. Good student.
