LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Adam Rusche is a 2008 MIF/3B with a 5'9'', 155 lb. frame from Greenfield, IN who attends New Palestine HS. He has a slender build and developing strength. Rusche showed solid infield actions, with a balanced approach to the ball, soft hands and a good release. He'll have to improve his overall quickness but he has the tools to play second base at the next level from this look. Offensively, Rushe has the same type of sound fundamental approach. He stays on the ball for a long time with his line drive swing plane and makes consistent hard contact. He waits for the ball to get to him well and has quick hands when he starts his swing. Rushe doesn't project much power but he has the ability to move the ball around the field and hit for a high average. He is a 7.46 runner in the 60 who gets out of the box quickly down to first base. Rusche is also a good student.
