LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
Nicholas Rooney is a 2016 LHP/OF with a 5-9 125 lb. frame from Ridge, NY who attends Home School. Medium, young athletic build with a lean, projectable build and room to fill out with additional strength. Ran a 7.68 60-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher, loose and short arm action through the back with an over the top release point. Small side step into high leg lift, remains balanced on backside before generating extension out front while landing online with front foot. Works fastball down in the zone, topped out at 75 mph, pretty true in life with occasional cutting action. Creates some angle at release, mixes well and shows big 1-7 curveball with depth, mimics arm action on fastball. Nice feel and works both sides of plate. Same loose arm action from the outfield, short steps to the ball and works through the ball well, quick transfer. Left-handed hitter, starts with a high hand set and narrow stance. Hands stay close to body, upper body swing with length, looks to lift and creates contact to pull side. Very good student.
