LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Jr. National Showcase
Alex Havlicek is a 2018 RHP with a 6-4 195 lb. frame from Oakland, NJ who attends Indian Hills HS. Extra-large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present strength, has room to fill throughout body, particularly in lower half. Primary righthanded pitcher, begins delivery with a side step and gets tall on backside with high leg lift up past belt. Very short and compact but quick arm action coming to a three-quarters release, shorter stride down the mound with some effort at release, lands on line with strike foot and is able to get on top of the ball well. Generates downhill plane to fastball with running life to arm side topping out at 87 mph, also showed a two-seam fastball with even better and sharper running life. Feel for curveball developed nicely, maintains arm speed and slot on pitch generating tight rotation and depth to 11-5 shaped pitch. Works quickly and throws strikes with both pitches. Very good student. Verbal commitment to Virginia Tech.
