LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2003 Indoor Showcase
Rust is a 6 foot 1, 200 pound right-hander who loves to pitch and knows how to win. He shows a fast arm and gets a lot out of his body. He uses a slightly lower than 3/4 arm slot and his fastball shows some life. He has a little effort in his delivery as most drop and drive pitchers do and he can throw both his fastball and curveball for strikes. His fastball showed 82-84 mph velocity and we have seen it even better. The fastball showed life and at times, sink. His curve sat between 68-72 mph and showed a big spin with a 2-plane break. It is a very good pitch that Rust showed confidence with. We saw him use it first pitch, behind in the count and he also doubled and tripled up on it effectively. Rust works quickly establishing a tempo and has shown mental toughness in the past. He competes and he likes to attack hitters. We think he will help give a lot of good innings to his team at the next level. He has committed to Marshalltown C.C.
