LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Sunshine South Showcase
John (JT) Tackett is a 2020 LHP/1B/OF with a 6-1 180 lb. frame from Cypress, TX who attends Cypress Christian. Athletic young build with good present strength and room for more. Compact arm stroke on the mound that hides the ball well, high 3/4's arm slot, short stride out front and doesn't get over his front side consistently, will spin off his front leg at times, has a quick tempo to his delivery. Fastball topped out at 82 mph and gets good cutting life at times glove side and some run arm side, works his fastball to different spots with intent and has a plan with it. Threw almost exclusively fastballs in this outing, flashed a short slider with limited feel and will have to improve this pitch and develop confidence in it. 7.02 runner who showed his athleticism well at first base and field his position well on the mound, too. Left handed hitter, hits from a spread and open stance, tends to stay on his back side, downhill swing plane. Good student.
