LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Yuri O'Connor-Yokoyama is a 2020 LHP/OF with a 5-10 180 lb. frame from Saint-Anne De Bellevue, QC who attends Ecole Secondaire Chene-Bleu. Medium frame with some strength and more room to fill. Ran a 7.11 second 60 yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, takes a side rocker step up to a belt high leg lift, coils on his back side before delivering to the plate, collapses the backside with arm coming through at front foot landing, takes his arm back to a longer arm action up to an over the top arm slot, stride online to the plate. Fastball topped out at 81 mph with cutting action at times, mixed in a 12-6 curveball with depth and good spin, showed a straight changeup, three pitch mix with feel. Secondary outfielder, fields it out in front with repeatable actions, takes a long arm action into throws while getting on top and getting extended, topped out at 77 mph from the outfield. Switch hitter who graded out best from the right side, toe tap trigger with some rotation, works to the middle of the field with projectable bat speed, cleaner swing from the right side with a flat path through the hitting zone. Good student.
