LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 13U National Showcase
Brooks Blanchard is a 2029 SS/RHP/OF with a 6-2 160 lb. frame from Greer, SC who attends Eastside. Lean, athletic frame with long levers, a high waist and plenty of room to add strength. Recorded a 7.15 second sixty-yard dash time. Primary shortstop that showed some lateral range to either side, while fielding slightly deeper. Worked through the baseball with some urgency and delivered accurate throws up to 74 mph across the diamond. Secondary right-handed pitcher that worked from a full windup delivery with a shorter stride down the slope and some present arm speed. Fastball worked up to 81 mph in this look, while maintaining the upper-70s throughout from a three-quarters arm slot. Showed ability to use all four quadrants effectively and displayed feel for spin with the ability to land breaking ball for strikes. Will continue to improve with some mechanical refinements and additional velocity. Took part in the outfield portion as well, where he showed some athleticism and plenty of arm strength during drills. Fields off his front foot, maintains momentum into release and produced arm strength up to 83 mph during drills. Left-handed hitter that hits from an upright, even base with a tight, high hand set and leg lift trigger. Middle-of-the field approach with quickness to his hands, feel for the barrel and flashes of budding pullside power potential. Will continue to improve in all facets of his game with proper adjustments and additional strength. Excellent Student.
