LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase
Caleb Higdon is a 2017 LHP/1B with a 6-4 190 lb. frame from Repton, AL who attends Monroe Academy. Large frame with long, lanky present build; excellent projection remaining on frame. Ran 60 yard dash in 7.71 seconds. Primary left-handed pitcher, short rocker step into high leg lift to start delivery, coils hip a bit at balance point strides towards left-handed batters box and lands slightly closed, creating crossfire action through release. Throws from extended low three quarters arm slot, deceptive with arm slot and hides the ball well, fastball worked 79-81 MPH with good arm side life on the pitch. Curveball showed sweeping shape with quality depth, tight-spinning pitch with swing-and-miss potential. Did a good job keeping pitch count low and getting weak contact early in counts. Sets up to hit from wide-based, open stance with high hands, big leg life timing mechanism, gets on line drive plane in timely manner and shows good strength in swing. Creates backspin at times and shows good carry off the barrel, did a good job staying committed to the middle of the field. Very good student.
