LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Memphis Prospect Showcase
Owen Block is a 2023 RHP/MIF with a 5-11 168 lb. frame from Nashville, TN who attends University School Of Nashville. Medium athletic build with some present strength and room for more. Works from the stretch with compact arm action that hides the ball well, lands open with lead leg on landing causing some inconsistency in his release, will fly off with his front side occasionally. Fastball worked mostly in the mid 80's, topped out at 88 mph early, fastball was mostly straight with occasional cutting action due to his front side at release. Slider was his best pitch, commanded it much better than his fastball and created nice spin and sharp bite, got lots of swing/miss on his slider. Change up was a solid third pitch with good arm speed. Dominant outing when he was throwing strikes. 7.08 runner in the sixty. Plays well in the middle infield with good arm strength and clean actions through the ball, makes accurate throws. Right handed hitter, hits from a narrow upright stance with busy feet in his load, has quick hands and creates good bat speed, gets extended out front well and can drive the gaps. Good overall athlete with plenty of baseball tools. Excellent student. Named to the Memphis Prospect Showcase Top Prospect List.
