LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Academic Showcase
Atchley is a slender 5-8 right handed hitting outfielder from Kentucky. He ran the 60 in 7.25 and threw 76 mph from the outfield during drills. Atchley has good, quick athletic actions for his size and some present strength. His speed gives him good range in the outfield and he showed an interest in playing the speed game, even bunting for a hit once, a showcase rarity. Atchley keeps his swing short by widening his stance and makes consistent contact and gets out of the box quickly, running 4.42 on one ground ball. It would be interesting to see Atchley play second base at some point to see if he has the skills for that position. Atchley is a good student as well.
