2015 Northeast Indoor Showcase
Ethan O'Connor is a 2018 RHP/OF with a 6-1 160 lb. frame from Sparta, NJ who attends Pope John XXIII HS. Tall and slender athletic build, projects well physically. Simple pitching mechanics, stays tall over the rubber with a short stride out front, very compact arm action, low effort release, could extend out front better and use lower half more. Fastball topped out at 81 mph early, mostly straight but can spot to both sides of the plate, hitters frequently late on his fastball due to deception in arm action. Short breaking downer 12/6 curveball, effective when down in the zone, took a slider shape at higher velocities. Developing change up. Right handed hitter, tall open stance, stays open during swing, simple swing mechanics, rotational upper half swing, uppercut swing plane from a low hand start. Projectable young athlete who should keep improving on the mound with additional strength. Good student.
