LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
Grant Ziegler is a 2023 RHP/OF with a 5-11 189 lb. frame from Westport, CT who attends Staples. Recorded a 7.71 second sixty-yard dash time. Compact, medium frame with present lower half strength and room to fill out. Primary right-handed pitcher that worked exclusively from the stretch in this look. Starts with a chest high, coiled leg lift into balance with slight drop and drive lower half mechanics down the slope. Fastball worked in the mid-to-upper 70s for the duration of his outing, topping out at 78 mph from a three-quarters arm slot. Aggressive mentality, fills up the zone with most fastballs early in the count, while mixing in a slower 11-5 shaped curveball for strikes when needed. Showed ability to disrupt timing by pitching backwards occasionally, while expanding the zone with both pitches to generate swings-and-misses. Will continue to improve with mechanical refinement and additional velocity. Right-handed hitter that hits from a slightly closed stance with a deep hand set, high back elbow and toe-tap trigger. Compact, shorter stroke with inside hand path, developing bat-to-ball skills and occasional line drive impact when on-time and in sync. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and additional strength. Good Student.
