LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 National PreDraft Showcase  
LHP Danny Bales: Bales threw a quick inning, pitching between 83-85 mph on his fastball with some of the best moving life of any fastball at the Showcase. His curveball was 68-71 mph and had a sharp, big break to it that mismatched the left handed hitter he faced. Only facing a couple of hitters probably kept Bales from unveiling his change up, which might be his best pitch. We’d be really challenged to remember the last time we’ve seen this southpaw allow a run at any type of event. Bales has signed with University of Iowa.
