LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Sunshine Gulf Coast Showcase
Daniel Hughes is a 2021 LHP/1B with a 6-3 215 lb. frame from Bessemer, AL who attends McAdory. Extra large and sturdy frame. Ran an 8.51 second 60 yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, low effort windup that begins with a side step up to a belt high leg lift, arm is taken back to a long arm action up to a ¾ arm slot, developing lower half involvement when working downhill, short stride at landing while staying online to the plate, works best when repeating mechanics and release point out in front. Fastball shows sinking action at times and topped out at 70 mph, flashed command of the pitch and also flashed a curveball with 12-to-6 shape and developing feel for the offering. Secondary first baseman, young actions bouncing off of the bag and making double play turns to second, short shuffles into his release, similar arm strength as on the mound. Righthanded hitter, sets up at the plate with a slightly open stance and a high hand set, toe tap trigger used for timing, developing lower half involvement, low effort swing with a rigid path to contact. Great student.
