LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 West Coast Underclass Showcase
Ryan Buckley is a 2017 RHP with a 6-3 160 lb. frame from Chino, CA who attends Ruben S. Ayala HS. Extra-large, athletic frame with long limbs and a lean, projectable build with room to fill out. Primary right-handed pitcher, begins delivery with a small leg lift just below the belt, remains balanced and shows solid direction towards the plate with lower half. Works with a compact arm action through the back and cleanly gets to a three-quarter release point. Fills up the strike zone and shows ability to work either side of plate with fastball, topped at 79 mph, mostly true with occasional arm side run and sink down in the zone. Efficient on the mound, maintains slot on curveball, shows 11-5 shape with finish to glove side, gets around at times and creates sweeping shape. Throws strikes with both pitches, flashed a changeup at 71 mph. Good student.
