LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Northwest Top Prospect Showcase
Joseph Young is a 2005 catcher from Elverta, California. Young has a nice projectable body with agility and more strength to come. He showed good accurate pop times to second (2.11) with true on line carry. Offensively, he hits from a wide base with no stride and slight weight transfer towards contact. Young uses a strength approach. It's a simple no nonsense swing without bad habits. He comes to play and showed no fear at the plate or behind it. Young has the ability to hit balls the other way with authority in games. He is a middle line up bat at his present level, with a chance to put up some big offensive numbers. He also has the ability to handle any pitching staff. Joseph is a good student.
