LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass West Showcase
Jacob Levey is a 2018 1B/RHP/OF with a 5-10 165 lb. frame from Los Angeles, CA who attends Alexander Hamilton HS. Medium, broad shouldered build with present strength throughout frame. Primary first baseman, fields the ball out front, short steps charging in with developing footwork, receives well, extended three-quarter arm slot on throws across the diamond. Upper body release from the outfield, compact arm action through the backside with a tight release, throws to the intended base, carry projects with addtional lower half. Also pitched, similar arm action as in the field, repeats delivery and pitches to contact, fastball topped out at 70 mph with short running life, throws curveball for strikes with 11-5 shape. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand set and back elbow in the box. Upper body dominant swing, utilizes a high leg lift trigger for timing, full swing path through the zone. Looks to create contact to the pull side and can do so, stays inside the ball, works the middle of the field too. Very good student.
