LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 West Academic Showcase (Wed/Thur)
William James is a 2023 OF/ with a 5-9 150 lb. frame from Alpine, CA who attends Steele Canyon. Small frame, compact build with some strength showing. 6.59 60-yd with Speed being the best tool on the profile. Hits from a wider base with high hands utilizing the hips well and producing a direct bat path to be contact-focused. Middle-of-the-field approach utilizing swing to made contact and let his plus speed play. During games found multiple hits and used that speed to take extra bases. Defensively, made sure to stay behind and used a high slot arm to make lofty throws; actions better in-game with range and speed for center-field. The small frame will need overall strength to make leaps, but speed is a major asset now.
