LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Sunshine Southeast Showcase
Reid Viar is a 2018 RHP/1B with a 6-3 190 lb. frame from Waxhaw, NC who attends Cuthbertson. XL frame with long, lean present build and great remaining room to fill out moving forward. Ran 60 yard dash in 7.70 seconds. Primary pitcher, operated exclusively from the stretch, generates good extension out front at release, good lower half drive to the plate and generates power as such. Fastball worked 80-83 MPH with good command down in zone to both sides, did a very good job getting weak contact on pitch. Showed CB with 11/5 shape and good depth, CB is the out pitch, got several swings and misses on it. Sets up to hit with deeper hand load, inside-out swing path with solid bat speed, line drive swing plane with occasional jump off the barrel, leg lift trigger, gets weight moving and projects well with the bat. Showed well at 1B, solid hands at the ball with flexibility and athleticism around the bag, showed quality arm strength across the diamond up to 82 MPH. Outstanding student.
