LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Underclass Showcase
Shawn Tomlinson is a 2008 P/1B/OF with a 6'0'', 190 lb. frame from Port Hope ON, who attends Port Hope SS. He has a strong mature build with limited projection. Tomlinson throws from an overhand release point and pulls his upper body off plane to get his arm through. His fastball was 75-78 mph and fairly straight. He also threw a 65 mph curveball with a big, rolling downer break that got hitters off balance. We didn't see a change up. Tomlinson also showed some ability with the bat and might be a better long term prospect as a 1B/Corner OF'er. He hits out of a spread stance and has good hand quickness and bat speed. He takes an aggressive swing and extends through the ball well while making consistent hard contact, especially to the middle of the field. He hit well in game at bats as well as in batting practice.
