LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Rocky Mountain Showcase
Josh Thompson is a 2018 RHP/OF with a 6-2 150 lb. frame from Highlands Ranch, CO who attends Highlands Ranch HS. Tall long limbed build with plenty of frame to fill in, projects well physically. Simple leg raise delivery, gets coiled and turned, deep arm circle in back, long smooth arm action to a high 3/4's arm slot, creates good downhill angle. Fastball topped out at 82 mph, gets good arm side running action at times, fastball seems to jump on hitters with some deception. Straight change up shows some promise. Gets good spin on his curveball with 11/5 shape and good depth. Throws strikes with all his pitches and tries to work both side of the plate. Solid in all aspects and should continue to improve as he gets stronger. 7.12 runner who moved athletically in the outfield during drills. Switch-hitter with an opposite field approach from both sides of the plate. Good student.
