LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 WWBA Workout Showcase (July 5)
Jayden Whiteside is a 2027 SS/RHP/OF with a 6-2 175 lb. frame from Marietta, GA who attends Marietta. Large athletic frame with present physicality, especially for his class, and plenty of time and room to refine going forward. Ran the 60 yard dash in a solid 6.94 seconds. Primary position infielder, moving good on the clay with some first step quickness and good angles through the plays. Emerging glove work with solid foundation and fundamental approach to the spot. Showed excellent lateral range on plays up the middle. Clean transfer and compact arm action, really loose and whipping the ball across the field up to 82 mph with accuracy. Reps in the outfield as well, working a one hand gather off his front foot with a deeper funnel. Deliberate transfer to throw and reached 85 mph here. RHH working from an upright and slightly spread stance, high handset and lower-leg lift to get moving. Inside path to the ball and the hands deliver the barrel with some aggression. When on time elevated the ball with ease but was at his best when staying in the opposite field gap. Power-oriented corner infielder type with a lot of time to refine his game. Outstanding student as well.
