LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Spring Top Prospect Showcase
Nathan Hoth is a 2016 C/RHP with a 5-9 165 lb. frame from Davenport, IA who attends West HS. Compact frame with good athleticism and present strength, solid room for added physical growth. At bat, hits from crouched stance with wide base, rocks back into load and stays balanced through swing into contact and after. Linear swing plane with good contact ability, shows solid bat speed though lower half could get more involved in swing. Aggressive approach, showed power to pull field. Worked out at catcher during defensive drills. High set behind the plate, some stiffness in mechanics, strong arm (topped at 80 MPH), inconsistent accuracy on throws to 2nd base. Releases from lower slot, quick transfer, footwork is inconsistent. Popped as low as 1.92. Good student.
