LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 World Uncommitted Showcase
Alvin Jones is a 2018 OF/LHP with a 5-8 160 lb. frame from Fairburn, GA who attends North Springs Charter. Small frame with square shoulders and present physical strength especially in the lower half. Ran a 7.07 second 60 yard dash. Primary outfielder, fluid movements to the ball, would like to see more breakdown in footwork into the point of gather, short arm action into throws with developing arm strength. Also pitched, short side step to leg lift above belt, tight arm action up to a 3/4 slot, crossfire delivery with good tempo throughout, arm is frequently late through the circle but that does not have effect on command, would like to see get out more over front foot, located well especially to armside, fastball has sink. Switch hitter who only took reps from the right, slightly crouched stance with a high hand set and high back elbow, small leg lift trigger, should work on keeping head and eyes on same plane throughout swing, starts low the raises up at load, some natural loft to swing, mostly ground ball contact during round. Good student.
