LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 World Showcase
Daniel Barnes is a 2007 RHP with a 6'1'', 185 lb. frame from Manhasset NY, who attends Manhasset HS. He has a medium athletic build with some strength projection and good present lower half strength. Barnes has a live arm with very good arm speed. He has a medium effort delivery and tends to open early to the plate, but stays consistent in his mechanics and 3/4's release point. Barnes fastball was steady at 86-88 mph and heavy down in the strike zone. He worked the inside corner well, which you like to see in a young pitcher, and topped out at 91 mph on his fastball. Barnes best off speed pitch was a 75 mph change up that he showed good feel for. He mixed in a few 74 mph curveballs that showed potential as well. Barnes had a good feel for pitching and knew what he was doing on the mound. He's an excellent student who will be attending Princeton and he should be very successful at that level.
