LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Atlantic Coast Top Prospect Showcase
Daniel is a live bodied 5-11 left handed hitting outfielder from North Carolina who also showed prospect tools as a pitcher. He ran the 60 in 7.19 and showed consistently good speed down to first base, running three times between 4.33 and 4.35 from the left side. Daniels showed very good arm strength from the outfield at 85 mph and is a solid defensive outfielder. It would be interesting to see him in the infield as his tools and athleticism would play there well, too. Offensively, Daniels hits from a high handed set up with a short, wristy swing. He made contact to all fields, mostly on the ground. Daniels will benefit from more strength to generate more bat speed in the future. As a pitcher, Daniels was very consistent between 83 and 85 mph on his fastball during 2 separate outings. He has a quick arm and repeats his delivery well. His 73 mph curveball showed some sharpness as well and he should be followed as a pitcher as well as an outfielder. Daniels is also an excellent student.
