LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 National Indoor Showcase
Jake Deakins is a 2018 LHP/1B/OF with a 6-3 170 lb. frame from Columbia, MO who attends Hickman HS. Tall low waisted build. Side step delivery with a short high elbow takeaway, 3/4's extended arm slot, gets out front well on release, showed more consistent command and mechanics from the stretch. Low 80's fastball, topped out at 83 mph, fastball mostly straight. Works around the strike zone and rarely throws the same pitch two straight times. Curveball is a solid pitch with good depth, slider is very short, showed some feel for a change up. Will depend on command and continued improvement in his off speed pitches at the next level. Left handed hitter, rotational lower half swing, stays on his back side, gets his arms extended and works to the middle of the field with line drive contact. Very good student.
