LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase
Nick Rice is a 2007 LHP/1B with a 6'6'', 200 lb. frame from Kenosha WI, who attends Tremper HS. He has a long, lean frame with slender hips and shoulders. Rice throws from a simple turn and throw delivery that enables him to stay ball and use his height to throw downhill. His arm action is long and extended and pretty smooth from a 3/4's release point. Rice's fastball was 85-88 mph and was heavy when low in the zone and straight when up. Rice showed good arm speed on his changeup and will give it some cutting action on occasion. He didn't throw any curveballs in this off season session but we've seen a nice tight low 70's curveball from him in the past. Rice is a promising young left hander with very good projection. He is also a good student and has signed with Southern Illinois.
