LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Northwest Showcase
AJ Staff is a 2019 LHP with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Bainbridge Island, WA who attends Bainbridge HS. Large frame with long limbs and an athletic build. Primary left handed pitcher with a simple side step to medium leg lift delivery. Stays flexed on back side at balance and works to the plate with drop and drive actions. Hides the baseball well at take back with a deep arm circle and released from a mid three-quarters slot. Fastball flashed some natural cut to glove side in the low 70's, topped at 74 miles per hour. Slider had 3/8 shape with loose spin and occasional sweep to glove side. Also flashed a changeup offering that slight fade to arm side in the mid 60's. Showed developing command of the zone but flashed the feel to work to the outer edge of the plate when repeating arm action through finish. Very good student as well.
