LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
Sean Griffin is a 2017 3B/RHP with a 6-2 200 lb. frame from Port Jefferson, NY who attends Port Jefferson High School. Extra-large, broad shouldered frame with a high waist and present strength throughout frame. Primary third baseman, takes short steps moving towards the ball, fields the ball at release, short and compact arm action through the backside and does a nice job of getting on top of throws, short carry and accuracy out of the hand on throws across diamond, balanced while charging in. Also pitched, side step moving into compact delivery, gets tall on backside with a spine tilt and slight hip turn at the top. Short arm action in the back, gets on top of fastball well from a three-quarters slot, topped out at 74 mph true in life but can work either side of the plate with fastball land works away from hitters. Induced contact early in the count, shows a feel for 11-5 shape curveball at 67 mph. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high back elbow in the box. Uses a leg lift trigger for timing, movement to hands prior to start, stays short to the ball and looks to create lift at the point of contact. Stays short through the ball and uses physical strength to create carry off the barrel when squared, works the middle and pull side parts of the field with comfort. Good student.
