LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Nick Sosa is a 2019 1B/LHP with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Miami, FL who attends Miami Southridge HS. Medium build, athletic and projectable frame with broad shoulders and a physical lower half. Ran a 7.84 second 60 yard dash. Primary first baseman, sits back on ball, fields out front, gets out of glove fast with quick exchange, average arm strength with accuracy to the bag. Also pitched, loose and clean arm action to a high 3/4 arm slot, up tempo delivery with pretty clean mechanics, likes to work quickly, effort into release with solid arm speed and developing arm strength, showed good command but would like to see more extension at the point of release for better command. Fastball is mostly straight but flashed some life to armside, fastball topped out at 79 mph, mixed in a 2-8 curveball with some depth. Lefthanded hitter, wide base, open stance, high hand set with a high back elbow, deep hand load, short stride with rotational backside, some looseness to swing, has some feel for the barrel, would like to see more weight shifted into the point of contact. Excellent student.
