LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Northeast Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Michael Gough is a 2026 RHP/OF with a 5-10 210 lb. frame from Lincroft, NJ who attends Middletown South. Compact, medium frame with some present lower half strength and room to physically mature. Recorded a 5.71 second forty-yard dash time. Primary right-handed pitcher that worked from a full windup delivery with solid lower half engagement and medium stride length out to foot strike. Fastball worked in the mid-70s for the duration of his outing and topped out at 77 mph from a lower three-quarters arm slot. Paired his fastball with two developing secondary offerings, as his breaking ball has gradual sweep to it and a firmer changeup flashed slight fade. Will need to refine overall pitch shapes and spin profiles to enhance three-pitch mix. Secondary outfielder with a developing defensive skill set. Waits back on the baseball before fielding off to the side, gathers cleanly and maintains some momentum into release. Recorded arm strength up to 77 mph during drills. Right-handed hitter that hits from a narrow, open base with a tight hand set and hover trigger. Lofted stroke with some leverage out in-front and strength at impact. Stayed through the middle-of-the field mostly and flashed legitimate power potential from gap-to-gap. Developing prospect defensively with offensive prowess and some upside remaining. Good Student.
