LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Underclass Showcase
Blake Turner is a 2008 C/1B with a 6'4'', 185 lb. frame from Odessa FL, who attends Sickles, Tampa. Turner has a tall body with a long lean lanky build. Defensively, Turner makes accurate throws and has good arm strength. He moves well behind plate and blocks balls well. His actions are a bit long due to his height, but they could be shortened up a bit to give him a quicker release on his pop throws. At the plate, Turner starts with a square stance and stands upright. He looks to keep his hands inside the baseball and stays through the ball well. Turner has a relaxed approach and has a controlled aggressive swing. He showed the ability to hit the baseball to the opposite field well with line drives. Turner opens up his frontside early a bit which limits his ability to hit the ball with any power to the opposite field. He has a projectable body and should develop well.
