LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 Mid-Atlantic Prospect Showcase
Justin Classie is a 2020 RHP/2B with a 5-9 159 lb. frame from Ridge, NY who attends Longwood. Medium, square shouldered frame with some present strength to frame and additional room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.86 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, uses a deliberate takeaway at start of delivery with a coiled knee raise at top of his delivery, occasionally gets mistimed with it but also helps create nice cutting action to fastball. Works to a three-quarters release point, topped out at 77 mph, able to generate plenty of swing and miss with cutting life to fastball, looks to attack and fill the zone. Also mixed a curveball at 69 mph with sweeping finish when on top of it. In the infield, fields the ball closed to body, hands play at the ball, compact arm action and can quicken release and transfer, shows accuracy across. Righthanded hitter, begins with an open stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; utilizes a big stride moving into contact. Does a nice job of staying linear through the zone and shows a handle for the barrel. Quickness to hands, creates nice contact off the barrel when squared, short finish through the ball, repeats mechanics. Good student.
