LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2003 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
Polke is an "04" RHP/1B with arm strength. At 6'2/225 he's plenty big enough already. He does a nice job at 1B and he can hit. He seemed to have some triggering problems, but he showed a well balanced, under control type swing. He hits line drives to all fields. Showed good power to CF and LF. On the mound he threw up to 83 mph with some sinking action. His breaking ball was in the upper 60s and showed good tight rotation at times. He will and probably has thrown both pitches with more velocity. Shawn is a good student.
