LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 National Showcase  
LJ Mercurius is a 2023 RHP/1B with a 6-4 170 lb. frame from Las Vegas, NV who attends Faith Lutheran HS. Long and lean frame with a high waist and substantial physical projection. Primary right-handed pitcher who only pitched during the event. Loose and fast arm with a longer, offline arm action overall. Slight side step into a leg lift above the belt. Over the top slot and gets downhill on release. Fastball topped out at 91 mph and sat mostly in the upper-80s. Curveball is softer with lower spin and showed feel to throw the changeup to both lefties and righties. Projection and arm speed point to substantial velocity gains as he adds strength and matures physically. Verbal commitment to UNLV.
