LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Jr. National Showcase
Paul Labriola is a 2019 LHP/1B with a 6-5 180 lb. frame from Bradenton, FL who attends Cardinal Mooney HS. Extra-large frame with a lean build and projects very well physically for added strength and size in the future. Primary lefthanded pitcher with a short side rocker step into the delivery. Stays tall through his back side with a longer arm action through the back as he accelerates downhill. Can create occasional plane on fastball but pitch is mostly true in life; flashed occasional cut as well. Stays on top of the ball well and releases from a true three-quarter arm slot. Able to induce weak contact, particularly roll over ground balls. Can create angle to his fastball and showed the ability to repeat his mechanics well. Mixed in a softer curveball that showed big break and quality depth to it. Great student.
