LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Spring Atlantic Coast Showcase
Carson Gipson is a 2022 RHP/SS with a 6-1 185 lb. frame from Pikeville, NC who attends Charles B Aycock. Lean athletic build with some developing strength and room for plenty more. Well controlled high leg lift delivery, gets balanced above the rubber and rides his back side down the mound very well, creates nice downhill angle from a high 3/4's arm slot, hides the ball well behind his body with an on line arm stroke and creates deception. Fastball topped out at 85 mph with late life and plus angle, velocity played up due to deception, showed advanced command of his fastball working to different spots. Slider was a very good second pitch for him with a consistent release point and big sweeping depth at times. Change up showed good quality with arm speed and fading action. Three pitch starter profile with plus command potential and projectable velocity. Switch-hitter at the plate with pretty equal bat speed from both sides and a smooth, more well timed swing from the left side. 7.32 runner with third base tools and skills on defense. Good student. Named to the Spring Atlantic Coast Top Prospect List.
