LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Great Lakes Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Nolan Laskey is a 2024 1B/RHP/3B with a 6-4 220 lb. frame from Temperance, MI who attends Bedford. Big physical build. In the infield, the actions fit a corner well. The lateral movements are a bit stiff and heavy but he gets to the spot on time for reception. The arm certainly plays with carrying strength from deep in the hole. Looked very comfortable and athletic on the slow roller. At first base, the footwork is clean around the bag with quality glove work to match, he fed the double play start up in rhythm with zip. At the plate, he sets up with narrow stance, slightly open working into a striding load. The hands fire hard to create huge juice when he gets it on the barrel. Missiles off the centerfield wall and punishing line drives to both gaps. Very noisy round. On the mound, its a moderate lift with medium arm stroke and low three-quarters slot. Under control delivery that maintains posture through release. Fastball displays some sink and heaviness to it out of the hand. Slider is projected to be a spike with low spin but shows steady horizontal action to either side of the plate. Changeup drags to pronation but shows promise as a decent third offering. Maintained the command throughout. Like this a lot for the future. 7.42 60-yard. Outstanding student. Named to the Top Prospect list.
