LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine South Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Gavin Perez is a 2027 C/1B with a 5-9 149 lb. frame from Buda, TX who attends Johnson. Primary catcher who sets up on one knee from the crouch. Gains some ground through the plate with an accurate arm to the bag. Showed good glovework in game behind the dish and was more comfortable catching velo in the 80s. Will need to catch the ball out in front more moving forward. Made a nice play on a pop up behind the dish in game action showing some things to like behind the dish. Ran a 7.77 sixty. Switch hitter with an even base starting slightly open. Low elbow and low handset. Hands rear back up on the load a bit making the swing long and can clean up the hand movement. When on plane, can impact the ball a bit. Also pitched throwing from the stretch. Uses a belt high leg lift with shorter arm action from a standard 3/4 slot. Threw strikes and could locate the fastball well. Will need to add more strength and arm speed. Excellent student.
