LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Sunshine South Showcase
William Gilbert is a 2016 RHP/1B with a 6-5 210 lb. frame from Plano, TX who attends Trinity Christian Academy. Extra tall and projectable pitcher's body, some present strength with more to come. Long extended arm action, 3/4's arm slot, arm works well coming through and the ball leaves his hand easily, gets closed and balanced well in his delivery, fairly upright finish, tends to land open with his front foot. Mid-80's fastball, mostly straight but thrown consistently for strikes. Mid-70's slider shows good depth at times with some two-plane 11/5 tilt. Should continue to improve with time and repetitions. Right handed hitter, has some raw power at the plate with a big lower half shift into contact, swings hard and keeps his hands pretty short to the ball, aggressive hitter. Has athletic actions defensively at first base. Good student.
