LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 West Academic Showcase (Wed-Thurs)
Blake LaRiviere is a 2024 SS/RHP, 2B with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Scotts Valley, CA who attends Scotts Valley. Lean, high-waisted frame with some physical projection left in the frame. Ran a 7.06 in the 60-yard dash. Things to like long term. Primary middle infielder, showed soft hands and fielding in the middle of stance. Solid fundamentals. Short, deliberate arm action in throws across the dirt. Present arm strength. Secondary right-handed pitcher, high three-quarter delivery with intent and momentum down the hill. Fastball up to 82 with late life up in the zone. Flashed feel for a hard breaking ball with late dive and mid-70s changeup with firm shape. Arm strength shows both ways. Right-handed hitter, shorter stance and crouched to the ball with high hand set. Short stride into contact, hands get on barrel through a linear path. Shows some quickness in the hands and work through the zone well. Solid all-fields approach. Present two-way potential. Excellent student.
