LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PRD Ghost Org Showcase
Joe Russell is a 2028 SS/RHP/2B with a 6-0 175 lb. frame from Manasquan, NJ who attends Christian Brothers Academy. Medium athletic build with some present strength and plenty of room for more. 7.71 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense, has a loose arm that projects well and his best defensive tool, tended to get his glove down late, developing lower half actions, should keep improving with repetitions. Right handed hitter, sets up in a straight stance with a short leg raise timer, rotational swing mechanics with a tight turn and short path to the ball, gets to his front side hard and early and will get slashing at times, created some back spin when on time. Also pitched, worked from a full wind up, short stride out front and tall at release, compact arm action. Fastball topped out at 78 mph and was mostly straight. Change up was his best pitch with good arm speed and some fade, also threw a short curveball. Excellent student.
