LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 South Underclass Showcase
River Ridings is a 2020 1B/OF, LHP with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from carrollton, TX who attends Prestonwood Christian Academy. Has a tall and lean frame that projects with room to fill athletically. Starts movements on the mound with a high leg lift above the waist, stays tall and balanced throughout delivery, throws downhill with extended 3/4 release point. Threw all three of his pitches for strikes an could throw them in any count keeping the hitters off balance. Commanded fastball to both sides of the plate at 75 to 79 miles per hour. Curveball at 66 showed developing tightness to spin and break as he learns to maintain his release point. Still working on maintaining arm speed on changeup but showed ability to control it with sink at 70 miles per hour. Good feel for his pitch repertoire for his age should have high ceiling as he progresses in the game.
