LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2012 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Jeff Gottesman is a 2015 RHP with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Mount Pleasant, SC who attends Wando HS. Medium frame, athletic build, projectable. Pitches from a three quarter arm slot, gets downhill. Collapses back knee a touch which takes away some of his downhill plane but arm action still allows him to get on top of the ball. Sharp 11-5 curveball with bite when he releases it cleanly, similar to slider at times but has harder break and 10-4 shape to slider, both breaking balls are solid though not completely defined yet. Good fading action to arm side on changeup, good feel for offspeed stuff. Has an idea how to pitch, got stronger as his outing went along, sat 81-83 early, touched 84 in his fourth inning of work. Good upside, has potential to develop, young pitcher to follow. Excellent student.
