LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event  
John Taft is a 2026 C/2B with a 5-10 150 lb. frame from Watertown, MA who attends Billerica Memorial. A lean build and projectable frame moving forward. Room to keep filling out. Ran a 7.92 60-yard dash. A primary catcher who moved through it with urgency. Quick mover through the throws, getting up and throwing after he receives it. Throws were at 69 mph with a 2.34 pop time down to second. Good intent behind his throws during his round at the defensive workout. A left-handed hitter with a wider base and slightly open stance. Hands tight to the body and was able to get the barrel to the zone and spray line drives to all fields. Projectable actions in the batters' box with a good feel for the barrel.
