LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 South Top Prospect Showcase
Vance Martinez is a 2017 C/3B with a 6-2 185 lb. frame from Midland, TX who attends Greenwood High School. Large, athletic build with broad shoulders and physical strength proportioned throughout frame. Ran a 7.85 60-yard dash. Primary catcher, shows a quick transfer behind the dish and works into a full arm stroke, gets it out of glove well and works on top of the ball showing accuracy down to second base, 1.95 best pop time, mostly upper body used as release and will continue to develop arm strength by gaining ground with lower half. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide stance and a medium hand set in the box. Has looseness to hands and stays short and direct to the ball with swing path. Uses a toe tap trigger for timing, occasionally pulls front side early, quick hips and is able to use physical strength to help generate bat speed while looking to lift out front at point of contact. Very good student.
