LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Underclass Showcase
Spiker Helms is a 2008 RHP/MIF with a 6'0", 175 lb frame from Wildwood, MO who attends St Francis Borgia HS. Spiker has an athletic build and showed very good all-around athletic ability at the event. On the mound Spiker has a high energy delivery with great balance and good arm speed. He shows feel for a solid slider, but needs to work on developing the rest of his off-speed pitches. Spiker is very adept at holding runners on base and he fields his position well. At the plate Spiker is a switch-hitter that looks better from the right side of the plate. He has good present strength in his swing and shows pop to all fields. He has quality hitting tools and would probably be best just to hit from the right side only. In the field Spiker really gets after the ball with a strong arm and solid range. He gets good carry on his throws and could project at a number of positions. Spiker is a solid student that should be a high-level college prospect.
