LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 National Showcase
Nolan Jones is a 2016 SS with a 6-4 185 lb. frame from Langhorne, PA who attends Holy Ghost Prep. Long and lean athletic frame, very projectable physically. 6.91 runner, is very smooth and fluid in his athletic actions defensively, light on his feet, works through the ball well at shortstop, arm works very well, gets on top of his throws and the ball comes out of his hand easily, has the tools and skills to stay at shortstop even as he matures physically. Left handed hitter, spread stance with a simple and short shift into contact, keeps his hands in and has a short and direct swing, works the middle of the field but showed the hand quickness and bat speed to turn on the ball and pull it with authority when needed. Potential two-way prospect if he concentrated on pitching, multi-part delivery with a long loose 3/4's arm action, fastball to 90 mph with good sink down in the zone, flashes hard spin on his curveball, have heard reports of mid-90's velocity and don't doubt it is in there. High level athlete who will continue to improve. Verbal commitment to Virginia. Named to the Perfect Game All-American Classic team.
