LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Kyle Petri is a 2018 LHP with a 6-4 200 lb. frame from Lighthouse Point, FL who attends Pompano Beach HS. Extra-large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present strength proportioned throughout frame. Primary lefthanded pitcher, begins delivery with a high leg lift up past belt, gets tall on backside well over the rubber with a slight hip turn at top. Front side drifts early at times but loose and quick arm action catches up, works to a three-quarters arm slot and fills up the zone with fastball that topped out at 84 mph. Fastball shows life to the arm side when down in zone, creates angle when getting to glove side, can miss bats with fastball. Throws both a curveball and slider, maintains arm slot and arm speed on slider, short and tight rotation to slider, more 1-7 shape to curveball at 68 mph. Slows arm upon release on changeup, flashed at 63 mph. Adjustments with lower half will continue to unlock additional velocity, has a feel to mix presently. Excellent student.
