2017 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Stephen Barnicoat is a 2020 LHP/1B/OF with a 6-2 205 lb. frame from Naples, FL who attends Gulf Coast HS. Large athletic build with broad shoulders and good present strength. Sound mechanics with an on line delivery, can get more use out of his lower half, low 3/4's arm slot, has a deep arm action in back with some funk and creates some deception. Low 70's fastball, topped out at 72 mph, mostly straight, threw strikes with his fastball and challenged hitters. Maintains his arm speed well on his change up, also mostly straight with occasional sink but thrown for strikes as well. Did not observe a breaking ball. Showed good footwork and athletic actions at first base. Right handed hitter, hits from a wide base with a deep high hand set, gets to his front side early, opposite field approach with an inside hand path, uphill swing path. Good student.
