LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Sunshine Showcase at Prasco Park
Nik Copenhaver is a 2023 RHP/IF with a 6-4 190 lb. frame from Hamilton, OH who attends Stephen T. Badin. Long and lean young build, outstanding body for a young pitcher, extremely projectable physically. Simple side step delivery, fairly fast paced, high 3/4's arm slot with a compact arm action, short stride out front but gets good extension over his front side to release. Fastball topped out at 84 mph, heavy arm side life when down in the zone, worked up and down and in and out with intent. Curveball was his primary secondary pitch, has bite with 11/5 shape and depth, later used a shorter slider effectively. Change up had some fading action. Full starter's arsenal and showed a nice ability to use it for a young pitcher. High ceiling talent on the mound. 7.16 runner, showed good athleticism and arm strength in the infield during drills. Excellent student, named to the Sunshine Showcase Top Prospect List.
