LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 World Showcase
Kevin Norton is a 2016 RHP with a 6-1 182 lb. frame from McDonough, GA who attends Union Grove HS. Medium athletic build, lean with good strength potential. Has sound repeatable mechanics with good balance over the rubber and good direction to the plate, uses his lower half well, has good tempo and rhythm attacking the strike zone and challenging hitters. Compact arm action in back with good extension out front with a 3/4's arm slot. Fastball up to 86 mph with some running and sinking life, will drop to a lower slot on his fastball at times with bigger life at less velocity. Maintains his arm speed well on a sweeping curveball with tight spin, mixes his pitches well and throws strikes. Didn't see a change up but has thrown one at past PG events. 6.84 runner, showed good athleticism in the outfield along with big arm strength, low on line accurate throws. Right handed hitter, hits from a wide base with a negative shift towards contact, upper half rotational swing. Good athlete who knows how to pitch and should keep improving. Good student, signed with Lincoln Memorial.
