LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 Pre-Draft Showcase
Nathan Woods is a 2007 RHP/1B with a 6'6'', 210 lb. frame from Cedar Rapids, IA who attends Xavier. He has a long, lean frame with some present strength. Woods has come on as a pitcher over the past year and has a smooth easy arm action. We've seen 88-89 earlier this spring and he was 85-87 at the pre-draft. Woods curveball has a big 11/7 downer break and his change is a nice pitch at times. Woods strength as a position prospect is his power, he has lift and extension to his swing and good bat acceleration through the ball. He's been on a steady improvement curve on both sides of the ball and there is no reason it should stop now. He should be a good two-way player at the college level and could create some draft interest now.
