LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Brandon Samuels is a 2019 RHP/1B, MIF with a 6-5 160 lb. frame from Hughsville, MD who attends St. Mary's Ryken. Large frame with long limbs and a slender build, plenty of room to fill, projectable pitcher's body. Has easy rhythm and tempo to the delivery with slight hip turn at leg lift. Full arm circle in the back with slight wrap, throws through a high 3/4 arm slot that reaches extension with a full follow through to the plate. Maintains direction to the target with a consistent and repeatable driveline. Fastball shows slight arm side run while sitting in the upper70's, topping at 79 mph. Curveball shows top to bottom action 11/5 shape and big break. Not a hard biter but will use it to get ahead of hitters and pitch backwards. More aggressive with the fastball but shows solid command of both offerings, strike thrower.
