LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Ryan Anderson is a 2016 RHP/1B with a 6-1 170 lb. frame from Palatine, IL who attends Palatine HS. Lean long armed build, plenty of room to get stronger. Well paced delivery with a high leg raise start, stays balanced and tall on his back side, high 3/4's arm slot, good direction to the plate, repeats his mechanics well. Fastball topped out at 78 mph, mostly straight with occasional arm side running action, keeps his fastball down in the zone and works both sides of the plate. Soft hand position curveball, limited present depth but throws strikes with the pitch and has feel for it. Fills up the zone and makes hitters swing. Right handed hitter, has some ability at the plate, simple swing mechanics, stays short and hits from above the ball, handled the barrel and made consistent square contact, flashed some power in game action. Should continue to improve with additional strength.
