LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Josh Gipson is a 2018 LHP with a 6-2 185 lb. frame from Oviedo, FL who attends Oviedo HS. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders, long limbs, and a lean, projectable build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Primary lefthanded pitcher, begins with a short rock step moving into delivery, leg lift slightly above belt, does a nice job of getting tall on backside and gathering over the rubber. Slight hip turn at top, strike foot lands on line with the plate, loose delivery, does a nice job of hiding the ball to create deception while working to an extended three-quarters arm slot. Fastball topped out at 81 mph and showed nice life to the arm side through the zone, gets on hitters quick and lives down in the zone. Nice command and throws strikes, changeup is quality secondary pitcher with short fading life, maintains arm speed well on 71 mph offering. Works both sides of the plate, sweeping life with 2-8 shape on breaking ball, short depth when on top, slows arm action some through the back on the pitch. Mixed well and kept hitters off balance. Very good student.
