LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Sunshine West Showcase
Landon Criste is a 2023 2B/RHP/IF with a 5-9 150 lb. frame from Las Vegas, NV who attends Bishop Gorman. Slender young build with lots of room to get stronger. 7.49 runner in the sixty. Showed nice agility in the middle infield on defense, moves well laterally and maintains his balance on the move, throws best from a low slot while on the move, should continue to improve defensively as he adds strength to his body. Left handed hitter, high contact simple swing approach with the ability to square up the ball and hit it to all fields, projects as a hitter with additional strength. Also pitched, low 3/4's arm slot with a long and loose arm action, drop and drive lower half mechanics with good direction to the plate. Fastball topped out at 74 mph with good running action. Got nice sharpness and spin on his curveball while doing a good job of getting on top of it from his release point.
