LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG Sunshine Mid-South Showcase (National Showcases Qualifier)  
Ethan Cates is a 2026 1B/RHP/OF with a 6-1 245 lb. frame from Mantachie, MS who attends Mooreville. Big and strong physical build. Runs well for his size, 7.37 in the sixty/5.07 in the forty. Primary first baseman on defense, step by step actions, glove actions were fine, throws from a low 3/4's arm slot. Right handed hitter, starts from a slightly closed stance with a short weight shift forward, has a short hands driven swing with limited lower half use, very strong hands give him the ability to drive the ball and create back spin and carry, hard pull side to mid field contact, more power there as he learns to use his lower half. Good student.
