LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 14u Main Event Showcase
Jackson McKenzie is a 2023 1B/OF/LHP with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Fairhope, AL. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and present physical strength proportioned throughout, additional room to grow and develop moving forward. Ran a 7.78 60-yard dash. Primary first baseman, fields the ball out front with some bend at waist, funnels well into a loose arm stroke and shows accuracy and carry across the diamond, gets on top well, shows sound footwork off the bag. Also pitched, deliberate movements in delivery with a short side step moving into a high leg lift; on line arm action working to a high three-quarters release point. Some effort at release but projects well, fastball topped out at 79 mph and able to work to either side of the plate. Repeats delivery and fills the zone, can pitch backwards with 1-7 shaped curveball with nice present feel for it. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow and a slightly open stance in the box. Linear path through the zone with occasional leverage, shows ability to impact the baseball to pull side gap. Can go to the opposite field with strength, opens front side early at times. Nice two-way potential. Excellent student. Named to the 14u Main Event Top Prospect List.
