LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 South Underclass Showcase
Michael Alonso is a 2008 OF/P/1B with a 6'4'', 210 lb. frame from Little Rock, AR, who attends Little Rock Catholic HS. Named to the Top Prospect Team at this event. Alonso has an extra large frame with present strength. At the plate he hits from a slightly closed and crouched stance. He uses a toe tap trigger with no stride and holds his hands away from his body. Alonso hit the only HR of the event smoking a ball over the left field fence. He has good bat speed with raw power and leverage at the point of contact. Alonso likes the ball on the inner half, and he can drive it. On the mound he throws from an over the top arm slot with solid arm speed. He throws slightly across his body and stays balanced through his delivery. His fastball topped out at 82 mph with arm side life, and he mixed in a 12/6 curveball at 68 mph and a 74 mph change. Alonso throws strikes keeping the ball low in the zone. A very projectable player with good upside. He is a good student as well.
