LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 South Top Prospect Showcase
Whittenberg is a 6-1 right handed pitcher from Texas. He threw the day before the showcase and elected not to pitch in Waco and only bat and play in the field. Whittenberg ran the 60 in 7.30 and threw 72 mph in infield drills, although he mostly played outfield in the showcase games. Whittenberg takes a full, hard aggressive swing at the plate and generates some bat speed. He showed some raw power potential when he made contact. We're not sure why he choose to pitch before the showcase but we need to see him on the mound to have a real evaluation of Whittenberg as a player. He's a very good student.
