LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 14U Atlantic Coast Showcase
Andrew Powers is a 2023 1B/LHP/OF with a 6-1 175 lb. frame from Bethesda, MD who attends St. Johns College. Big and strong young build, projects very well as he physically matures. Left handed hitter, hits from an open spread stance, tends to get closed late with his front side, has some hand quickness and can get the barrel out front, long and extended swing with plenty of shoulder rotation, swings hard, young power approach and he should have the strength to execute it as he develops. 7.78 runner, played both first base and the outfield and was solid at both positions, moves well for his size and shows plenty of arm strength, especially from the outfield. Also pitched, has a slow paced delivery with late acceleration to the plate, some effort at release, swings his front leg around in his mechanics creating timing problems with his arm coming through, 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped out at 75 mph, has nice running life in the zone when his arm is on time. Development as a pitcher will key on getting his delivery on line and his arm on time. Very good student.
