LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 National Showcase
Dustin Dickerson is a 2006 third baseman/first baseman from McGregor, TX with a lean athletic build at 6-4, 190 lbs. He's an excellent on-line runner for his size at 6.63 and his long strides mean there are going to be plenty of doubles and triples in his future. Dickerson is a pure hitter who projects as one of the top offensive players in the 2006 class. He hits from a calm approach with a little hand hitch timer and no stride from a slightly open stance. Dickerson has plus, plus hand strength and gets the bat head into the hitting zone very quickly. He has the ability to hit the ball deep in the zone with wood, which is very unusual for a hitter Dickerson's age. The ball explodes off Dickerson's bat to all fields and he has serious big league power. His fly balls stay up in the air for a long, long time. Defensively, Dickerson plays third base but profiles to first base or left field in the future. He moves well enough for third but his arm strength and hands aren't well suited for the position as the game speeds up. Dickerson is a very good student who is committed to Baylor but who will get plenty of attention this spring from the pro scouting community.
