LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Fall Northeast Showcase
Chris Walsh is a 2021 1B/LHP, OF with a 6-1 215 lb. frame from Belle Harbor, NY who attends Xaverian. Large, square shouldered frame with some present strength to frame and additional room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.62 60-yard dash. Primary first baseman, fields the ball out front, funnels the ball into body, works into a longer arm action and shows ability to drop slot on throws, takes shorter steps on the charge, will continue to refine overall actions. Also pitched, works exclusively out of the stretch with a slide step; short stride down the mound and works downhill well, fastball topped out at 78 mph with running life when down in the zone. Filled up the strike zone, gets over front side and shows good tempo, short life to slider up to 68 mph. Lefthanded hitter, begins with an even stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; upper body dominant swing with comfort working to pull side. Projects with additional lower half implemented into weight shift, incorporates physical strength to generate bat speed, gets downward with path at times, shows nice carry off the barrel when elevated. Very good student.
