LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 California Underclass
Tommy Gale is a 2007 OF/MIF from Amador Valley HS, residing in Pleasanton, CA, with a 6'0" 150 lb. frame. He has a long, wiry, and thin build that is commonly referred to as projectable. A right-handed hitter, he caught our eye early in the BP session when he one-hopped the wall with a foul ball. Gale has a deep hand set and some length in his swing, suggesting that he is looking to generate some power. He hits from a wide stance, withll a no-stride approach and does have surprising pop for such a slight build. Gale tends to get rotational in his approach and is aggressive. Gale did get the barrel to the ball, though he was better in the BP than in the games. He does have a chance to hit. On defense Gale threw with a slinging arm action and the ball came out pretty well. He made a good approach to the ball in the outfield and went to the ball well with good body control. Pitching - long and lean arm stroke, high 3/4 slot, delivery on time for most part, 76-78 mph FB, good command away, 64-65 mph slurvy-frisbee breaking ball, 67-68 mph change-up with good feel, best pitch, good down in zone, interesting due to thin and still underdeveloped body. Local college programs should follow, could make a jump in spring/summer with bat or on mound, don't be surprised, figure him out.
