LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Jr. National Showcase
Cylis Cox is a 2021 LHP/1B, OF with a 6-1 195 lb. frame from Staunton, IL who attends Staunton. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present physical strength proportioned well throughout frame. Ran a 7.44 60-yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitch, generates deception with delivery, high lead arm and does a nice job of hiding the ball through the backside while working to an extended three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 85 mph, some effort at release with big angle out of hand, tough look versus lefthanded hitters, fastball gets on hitters and filled the strike zone while inducing weak contact. Showed a cutter as secondary pitch up to 81mph, short and late cut action and did a nice job of keeping the ball down. Works on top of throws well from first base, shows ability to drop slot, shorter steps off the bag and fields it out front. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate. Keeps hands inside the ball, linear stroke through the zone and looks to pull the ball at the point of contact. Gets mistimed with front side, projects with additional extension out front to unlock more strength at point of contact. Excellent student.
