LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Underclass National Showcase
Nick Mitchell -- Mitchell is a big bodied junior first baseman with a particularly strong lower half. He looks like he could have a future in football with his physique. Mitchell hits from a wide stance with small, soft stride. He has a bit of a hand hitch, which lengthens his swing, but Mitchell uses his strength to generate very good bat speed. He can hit them a long way when he makes solid contact. Mitchell showed some agility for a big man on defense and showed good arm strength in the workout. He also threw 2 innings and did well. He topped out at 80 mph with nice quiet mechanics and a 64 mph curveball that had decent break to it. Nick is a good student.
