LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Midwest Indoor Showcase
Kirk Paterno is a 2023 OF/RHP with a 5-11 200 lb. frame from Park Ridge, IL who attends Maine South. Recorded a 7.33 second 60 yard dash time. Large frame and sturdy build with obvious strength, physically advanced for his age. Primary outfielder, fields off the front foot with a small crow hop forward, lets the ball get deep and close to his body before fielding. Long and stiff arm action with developing arm strength, quick transfers at times. Secondary right-handed pitcher, long arm action with a deep plunge in the back. Jerky and explosive actions on the mound, segmented and stiff delivery at present. Really gets on top of the curveball, has 11/5 shape with developing feel for it. Lived at the knees with his fastball. Right-handed hitter with a even stance and small stride forward. Limited load and weight transfer in the lower half. Lots of hand movement pre-pitch, upper body rotational swing, cuts the swing off at times. Will get the most out of his frame as he uses the lower half more actively in the swing. The physicality and strength really stand out, can improve with added refinement. Great student.
