LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 World Showcase
Gallagher is a strong, physically mature pitcher who threw very well for us in Fort Myers. He has a compact, quick arm action and gets good downward plane to the plate from a high 3/4’s release point. He also gets good use of his lower half in his delivery. Gallagher’s fastball stayed pretty steadily in the 86-88 mph range and he’d get some late sinking and boring action on it down in the strike zone. He’d occasionally turn it over at 83-84 mph and get even more sink to it. Gallagher’s breaking ball was a 65-66 mph curveball that had good spin and a tight biting action to it. He’ll need to speed this pitch up a bit for pro ball, to make it more effective given his fastball velocity but the fundamentals and ability to spin it are already there and the adjustment should be fairly easy. He shows a great feel for the mound and that no fear approach scouts love to see. He's a highest level college guy and he might create some serious pro interest.
