LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2011 National Showcase
Hunter Newman is a 2012 RHP/1B with a 6-4 185 lb. frame from Bloomingdale, GA who attends Calvary Day School. Long and lean build, good pitchers frame, projects physically. Sound directional delivery, easy full arm action, high 3/4's release point, throws downhill with leverage, some effort and release on finish, tends to overthrow. Upper 80's fastball to 89 mph, fastball straight but downhill, inconsistent curveball release, tends to drop elbow and cast, flashes good spin and bite when on top. Rare change up. No question he will throw harder with added strength, like the leverage at release. Good student, verbal commitment to Louisiana State.
