LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Braden Halladay is a 2019 RHP/1B with a 6-1 150 lb. frame from Odessa, FL who attends Calvary Christian HS. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a long limbs, lean and projectable with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.56 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, short rock step moving into leg lift just above belt, compact delivery with balance and gathers over the rubber well. Nice directionality and remains on line towards the plate, shows looseness and quickness to tight arm action before working to a three-quarters release point. Creates plane on fastball, topped out at 78 mph with nice running life to the arm side when down in the zone. Feel for a changeup at 70 mph and mixes it well, maintains arm speed on offering nicely. Attacks zone and locates to either side, sweeping breaking ball with 10-4 shape, short depth and induced consistent weak contact. Similar quick arm action from the outfield, fields the ball out front, comes out cleanly, shows athleticism to actions and works behind the ball well, nice carry to intended base. Righthanded hitter, begins with an upright and slightly open stance, employs a leg lift trigger for timing in the box. Easy swing, shows a nice feel for the barrel and ability to go to the opposite field. Contact approach and executes well, full swing path through the zone with extension, occasional uphill to plane, projects with additional strength. Excellent student.
