LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Fall Academic Showcase
Joseph O'Rourke is a 2016 C/ with a 5-10 185 lb. frame from Staten Island, NY who attends Susan E Wagner. Medium frame, sturdy, strong build. Primary catcher, looks the part behind the plate. Receives the ball well, slight pause and hitch in the backside of arm-action. Quick exchange but the release is a bit deliberate, has solid-average arm strength, popped as low as 2.14 seconds in defensive drills, could improve with smoother armswing and release. Left handed hitter, wide base. Small toe raise trigger, has solid bat speed. Loose, fluid swing path, likes to swing off of his backside, can put a charge into the ball when in rhythm and timed properly. Very good student.
