LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 National Academic Showcase (Tues/Wed)
Edward Said is a 2024 RHP with a 6-4 195 lb. frame from Columbia, SC who attends Heathwood Hall Episcopal. Primary right-handed pitcher with a long lena build showing plenty of length to project on moving forward. Starts with a side step and belt high leg lift in the delivery. The arm works on a medium track through the back to a high three-quarters arm slot. The fastball sat 75-78 mph working mostly to the glove side early in counts. Also went to the curveball to the glove side showing most effective when he gets extension showing 12-6 shape as a pitch he can throw for a strike consistently. Fields the ball on the side as eh works through it well getting the ball out on time with a longer arm action showing average carry to the bases. Showed young actions on the infield with loose hands presenting the glove late to field the ball out front. Right-handed hitter, starts with a slightly open base and upright stance. The bat path works steep into the hitting zone with a slight weight shift into contact as he creates little extension at the point of contact. Impacted the ball best to the middle of the field and opposite field gap with a compact bat path. Very good student.
