LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 West Coast Top Prospect Showcase
Masahiro Ito is a 2018 RHP with a 5-7 175 lb. frame from Ichinomiya, AI who attends Ichinomiya HS. Shorter build with a strong lower half. Big leg raise delivery with a pause at the top, gets very good lower half drive to the plate, long and loose arm action from a high 3/4's slot, arm will be late at times, stays on line well, hides the ball from the hitter effectively. Steady mid-80's fastball, topped out at 86 mph, mostly straight, velocity plays up when down in the zone. Gets over his curveball very well with hard spin and big eye level changing depth, can buckle knees with his curveball, showed better command of his curveball than his fastball. Very animated and high energy on the mound, fun to watch unless you are the hitter.
