LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 South Prospect Showcase
Caiden Henderson is a 2020 RHP with a 5-11 175 lb. frame from Sapulpa, OK who attends Sapulpa. Ran a 7.18 second sixty-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, with a medium frame that has room to fill out and add strength. Works exclusively from the stretch, with a quick leg lift that comes in toward the back leg, leading into tall and fall actions down the mound. Hides the ball well with a short and compact arm stroke, coming through from a high three-quarter slot at release. Does an excellent job of tieing up right-handed hitters with the fastball that has some late life to the arm side at 73-to-76 miles per hour. Flashed feel to spin a pair of breaking balls, the first being a low-60s curveball with big 11-to-5 shape and shorter depth. Does not get a ton of swing and miss with that pitch, but it pairs well with the sweeping slider that dances across the zone at 66 miles per hour, gets some good swing and miss against right-handed hitters. Also worked out at first base, showcasing a lower slot to throw and developing arm strength up to 74 miles per hour. Has developing glove actions, and could develop into a solid first baseman with work. Good student.
