LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 National Showcase
Michael Zimmerman is a 2015 LHP/OF with a 6-3 180 lb. frame from Naples, FL who attends Gulf Coast HS. Slender young build, lots of room to get stronger, projects physically. Hands tight during delivery with late separation, limited front side use in delivery, hides ball well and has deception. Mid 80's fastball from a 3/4's release point, topped out at 87 mph, mostly straight and thrown to spots. Curveball is his out pitch, often thrown from mid-3/4's to even low 3/4's slot, will have to develop slot consistency for the next level of hitters, curveball has hard bite and big depth, very good feel for curveball location, potential plus pitch. Also has nice feel for a quality change up. Still waiting for velocity spike but can be very effective at next level without it due to command and nasty curveball and ability to pitch backwards if needed. Verbal commitment to Florida.
