LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Northeast Indoor Showcase
Salvatore Monticciolo is a 2018 1B/RHP with a 6-1 215 lb. frame from Holmdel, NJ who attends Holmdel HS. Big extra strong build for a freshman. Left handed hitter with an aggressive approach, good hand load, big stride into contact, stride gets too big at times and gets him off balance and off timing, strong enough to hit with a shorter move to contact, creates very good bat speed, looks to pull and makes loud contact when squared up, lots of lift in his swing. Big power potential with adjustments to keep swing/approach simple and game usable. Good hands at first base, has solid arm strength across the diamond and stays on top of his throws, footwork is still young. Also pitched, high 3/4's to over the top release point, repeats his mechanics well. Fastball topped out at 78 mph, good running life at times. Curveball flashed sharpness with 10/4 sweeping life. Threw strikes and was effective. Follow closely for his offensive potential. Good student.
