LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
Kyle Hard is a 2023 MIF/RHP/3B with a 6-1 180 lb. frame from Mahwah, NJ who attends Mahwah. Recorded a 7.88 second sixty-yard dash time. Projectable frame with square shoulders, a high waist and plenty of room to add strength. Primary middle-infielder with smooth, clean footwork throughout the fielding process, good lateral range to both sides and athleticism to his movements. Works downhill to field, funneling cleanly out in front, while showing the aptitude to throw from various arm angles when necessary. Recorded online, accurate throws up to 85 mph across the diamond during drills. Secondary right-handed pitcher; full windup delivery with slightly coiled leg lift, drop and drive lower half mechanics, and explosiveness at foot strike. Simple, repeatable delivery with loose three-quarters arm slot, present arm speed and tons of velocity upside as he fully matures. Fastball worked in the low-80s for the most part, topping out at 83 mph in this look with good life to the bottom of the zone. Sequences well with the ability to land his 11-5 shaped curveball for strikes in any count, while tunneling it out of the same arm slot as his fastball. Proficient strike thrower with good command of present two-pitch mix, high upside potential with plenty of more velocity in the tank. Right-handed hitter that hits from an open stance with a high hand set, high back elbow and higher leg lift trigger. Slightly lofted stroke with good hip coil to launch, quickness to his hands and good feel for the barrel. Displayed consistent line drive impact to the middle-and-pull-side, flashing leverage out in front and some power potential to left centerfield. Projectable swing that translates well into game action and will continue to improve as he fully matures. Fundamentally sound defender with some legitimate upside on the mound, will continue to expand his potential as he adds strength. Good Student. Named to the 2021 New England Indoor Top Prospect List.
