LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 West Academic Showcase
Nathan Schwartz is a 2020 C/1B with a 6-0 155 lb. frame from Los Gatos, CA who attends Leigh. Medium frame with a lean build. Frame projects to support additional size with strength. Primary catcher with a low, slightly side set stance while receiving. Gains ground towards the bag with smooth, clean footwork. Loose, efficient exchanges and released from a compact three-quarters slot. Generated solid carry to the bag topping at 75 miles per hour. Right handed hitter with an upright, open stance and high back elbow set. Utilized a simple front side trigger and worked to contact with rotational lower half actions. Stays on back side throughout swing and employed a loose, extended swing path. Barrel came through the zone on a level, line drive plane with some fluidity through extension. Primarily worked to the middle of the field but flashed the barrel control to hit the ball the other way as well. Tools will continue to develop with maturity and repetition. Excellent student.
