LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 World Uncommitted Showcase
Jason Howell is a 2015 1B/LHP with a 6-2 195 lb. frame from Conyers, GA who attends Salem HS. Extra-large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and a strong build with some room to fill out with additional strength. Ran a 7.07 60-yard dash. Primary first baseman, solid actions with sound footwork around the bag, short arm action with strength across diamond, gets on top of ball with accuracy and carry. Also pitched, throws from a three-quarter arm slot with a short arm action in the back. Gets tall on back side with a high leg raise and steady tempo. Gets cross body at release creating cutting action on fastball, topped at 73 mph and filled up the zone to both sides of plate. Flashed a sweeping curveball at 66 mph. Left-handed hitter, starts with a relaxed stance at the plate with a high hand set. Uses a toe tap trigger to start swing, very quick hands that get through the zone and generate consistent, hard contact to pull side. Gets to front side early but shows a short and fast path to ball with a high finish looking to lift. Good student.
