LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 Great Lakes Indoor Showcase
Lucas Akin is a 2020 RHP/C/1B with a 6-1 170 lb. frame from New Albany, OH who attends New Albany HS. Slender young build with room to fill and time to do so. Ran a 7.80 second 60 yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, slow paced delivery, deep take back to a longer arm action up to a varying arm slot from high 3/4 to over the top, creates some downhill angle, arm tended to be late coming through circle. Fastball is straight topping out at 79 mph, worked both sides of the plate for strikes, mixed in a developing curveball, maintained velocity. Righthanded hitter, even based stance, load tends to be late, needs to get swing started earlier, uphill swing path, developing feel for the barrel with mostly opposite field contact, needs to get stronger for added effectiveness. Good student.
