LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 National Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Ian Thornton is a 2023 OF/RHP, 1B, 3B with a 5-11 190 lb. frame from St. Louis, MO who attends Brentwood. Recorded a 7.88 second 60 yard dash time. Large frame with a long and lean build. Primary outfielder, fields it deep with two hands and shows infielder actions. Passive approach and gather, tends to step his momentum to throw. Also worked out at first base, has some understanding of the footwork and knows what he's doing on the turns, developing arm strength. Funnels into the chest, solid balance, solid round overall. Secondary right-handed pitcher with a big plunge in the arm action. Shows some arm side life to the fastball and finds the bottom of the zone consistently. Lands collapsed on a soft front side, throws against himself at times. True downer curveball, really hooks the arm stroke to throw it. Right-handed hitter with a wide base and open stance. Low hand and back elbow set, utilizes a toe tap trigger. Flies open at times which loses room for the barrel to stay in the zone. Deep hand load, shows a pull side approach with some recoil at finish. Produced solid line drive contact when on time. Excellent student.
