LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
George Gines is a 2018 OF/RHP with a 6-0 185 lb. frame from Pittsford, NY who attends Pittsford-Mendon. Large frame with athletic, highly projectable present build. Ran 60 yard dash in 6.96 seconds. Sets up to hit from narrow-based stance, leans back into load, small hanging leg lift trigger, path is slightly uphill but clean. Approach is to pull, gets barrel out consistently and showed legitimate juice to the pull field; some of the better power of the event. Good reads on the ball in the outfield, comes in well and handles hops well, fields cleanly and shows solid arm strength up to 83 mph. Also pitched; longer offline arm action with stab through the back, heavy external shoulder rotation, falls off at landing spot, quick arm to three quarters slot. Fastball worked 81-84 mph with heavy sink and good control of pitch, content to fill up the bottom of the zone and allow for weak contact. Showed slider with solid tilting action and overall feel; fastball was an equalizer due to life/control of pitch. Outstanding student; named to 2017 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase Top Prospect List.
