LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 South Top Prospect Showcase
Ward is a 6-1, 185 lb senior catcher from Texas with a solid present build. He's an 8.04 runner with 70 mph arm strength and a best pop time during drills of 2.28. Ward had a very accurate arm during the games and probably throws out plenty of runners at the high school level. He's a hard working catcher on defense who is hustling all the time. At the plate, Ward has a slashing, downward swing with an early hand release. It isn't a particularly effective style of hitting, especially for a player like Ward who has some natural strength and longer levers. He'd benefit from a different approach at the plate. Overall, Ward is a good, hard nosed player who shows good makeup and leadership. He's also a good student.
