LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Brad Pitz is a 2005 catcher from Canada. The Ontario Blue Jays brought two strong catchers down to the Midwest Showcase in Brad Pitz and Justin Worby. Both showed college and possible pro level tools and skills. Pitz was especially strong on defense, where he shows good arm strength and very quick actions, along with a willingness to block pitches. He’s physically strong and mature now, especially in the upper body. At the plate, Pitz hits from a balanced stance with lots of extra hand action that leaves his hands well separated from his body and not always in good hitting position. Pitz uses his strength well, though, and shows good pop on contact and some extra base potential. He has the potential to improve as a hitter and the metal bat will help him. He can play at a high level.
