LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 South Top Prospect Showcase  
Richard Testa is a strong solid bodied 6'2/190 2005 right handed pitcher from Mesquite, TX, with two quality Division I level pitches. He has some lean back in his delivery and comes through quickly to a mid ¾ release point. Testa’s fastball was in the 85-87 mph range with very nice tailing action. His best pitch was a 74 mph curveball that had very tight spin and bite to it. Testa showed he could control this pitch real well for both its power and depth, and threw some good backdoor curves to left handers as well as overmatching the right handed hitters. Testa also showed some very good ability with the bat. He has strong wrists and hands and generates very good bat speed and power with a pull type approach. Richard is a highest level pitching prospect and an excellent student.
