LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Northwest Showcase
Justin Tucker is a 2018 RHP/IF with a 6-0 165 lb. frame from Renton, WA who attends Hazen HS. Medium athletic build, high waist, looks a bit bigger and stronger than listed. Big leg raise delivery with a pause at the top, swings the gate through with some effort at release, high 3/4's arm slot, repeats a fairly complicated delivery pretty well and shows his athleticism. Fastball topped out at 85 mph, lots of late cutting action, pitches mostly to the glove side with his fastball. Slider was his best pitch, gets nice depth with a late and sharp bite, very consistent with his location and quality of his slider, over matched hitters with it. Change up is a promising third pitch with late diving action. Has three pitches he can get hitters out with and throws strikes with them. Has some hitting tools, big shift into contact, keeps his hands with him and has a short and quick line drive swing with solid pull to mid field contact. Very good student. No college commitment at this time but has the ability to contribute at a number of different level schools.
