LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2026 PG Northeast Indoor Showcase  
Paulie Rao is a 2028 RHP/1B with a 5-10 190 lb. frame from Old Bridge, NJ who attends Saint Joseph Prep. Thick medium build with good present strength. Works from a coiled leg raise wind up, will get over rotated at times, high 3/4's arm slot, some energy into release. Fastball topped out at 81 mph and was mostly straight. Got over his curveball well and created some good downer depth with some feel for landing it for strikes. 5.64 runner in the forty. Secondary first baseman on defense, moves his lower half well and makes good pivots and accurate throws. Right handed hitter, sets up in a straight stance, has a longer rotational swing, flashed some hand strength when he was on time with middle of the field contact. Good student.
