LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Fall East Coast Showcase
Blake Pesante is a 2022 2B/RHP/SS with a 5-10 175 lb. frame from Mechanicsville, MD who attends St. Mary's Ryken. Medium athletic build with some present strength and more to come. Right handed hitter, hits from a spread stance with a good load to his backside, toe tap trigger out front, showed nice bat speed when he was on time with his shift, has power potential and the ability to drive the ball. 7.08 runner, has sound fundamental actions on defense in the middle infield, good footwork with balance, works his lower half well behind and through the ball, has some arm strength but was more comfortable throwing from second base than shortstop at present. Took a turn on the mound and showed well there. Slow and deliberate leg lift delivery, arm is fast through a 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped out at 85 mph with good late life and was consistently down in the strike zone. Showed all three secondary pitches, slider was much better than his curveball this outing with late biting action and good power. Change up was also a quality offering with very good arm speed. Has a chance on both the mound and as a second baseman. Good student.
