LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Payton Anderson is a 2018 1B/RHP/OF with a 6-4 180 lb. frame from Johns Creek, GA who attends Johns Creek High School. Extra large frame, lean, slender build, athleticism, and room to continue to fill out physically and add strength. Primary first basemen, full arm action through the back and released from a very low slot. Developing bend and footwork with raw accuracy on feeds. At the plate, started with an upright stance, even base, and used a simple approach. Showed advanced feel for timing with tremendous extension through contact. Line drive swing plane with compact hands and will continue to grow into power. Also pitched, showed a similar long arm action through the back with looseness and threw from a three quarter arm slot. Fastball showed arm side life at 69-72 mph. Showed a sweeping curveball as well with developing feel for a changeup at 62 mph. Should work on repetition of delivery and maintaining a single release point for improved command. Very projectable athlete overall. Good student.
