LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Sunshine Gulf Coast Showcase
Austin Hale is a 2022 LHP/OF with a 5-5 135 lb. frame from Pell City, AL who attends Victory Christian. Small and young frame with plenty of time to continue to fill out physically. Ran an 8.23 second 60 yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, begins his delivery with a side rocker step up to a low leg lift below his belt, low effort windup, takes his arm back to a clean arm action up to a high 3/4 arm slot, could improve velocity with additional lower half involvement and more tempo to delivery, young arm speed at take back as well. Fastball topped out at 64 mph with frequent cutting action to the pitch, mixes in a curveball with 12-to-6 shape, filled up the zone well during his outing. Secondary outfielder, young actions coming through the baseball, takes a big crow hop into release, similar arm strength as on the mound. Lefthanded hitter, sets up at the plate with an even base, uses a toe tap trigger from timing, compact stroke with a short hand path to the baseball, contact skills and developing strength off of the barrel. Good student.
