LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Fall Atlantic Coast Showcase
Conner Barkel is a 2024 3B/C/IF with a 6-0 205 lb. frame from Huntertown, IN who attends Carroll. Large strong and athletic frame with present physicality. Ran the 60 yard dash in a respectable 7.19 seconds. Primary position IF with active feet creating efficient lower body patterns. Works athletically through the ball and leads into a fairly long arm action. Arm strength is there as he registered throws up to 78 mph across the infield. Accuracy and overall carry on throws will improve as he shortens the arm action. Right handed hitter with a strong presence in the box and utilizing a closed stance. Does start with his back elbow high and this creates a swing plane issue at times. Torso works well to create torque and there is serious strength in the hands. A simplified start will get him on plane sooner and when he does there is very loud contact coming off his bat. Outstanding student.
