LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 World Showcase
Alex Valentin is a 2023 LHP/1B/OF with a 6-0 210 lb. frame from Hollywood, FL who attends Everglades. Strong and compact build. Has a full delivery on the mound, will throw in shimmies and hesitations to impact hitter's timing, has a very compact 3/4's arm slot that hides the ball very well, repeats his mechanics well and filled up the strike zone while working quickly for three innings. Fastball sat 88-91 and flashed higher, velocity plays up due to deception, regularly blew away good hitters during his outing, fastball is mostly straight, some idea of how to locate to both sides and will come inside to left handed hitters. Slider was a good pitch with spin and depth at 77 mph, tended to slow his arm and tried to aim the pitch often, potential to be an effective weapon with more consistency. Threw some change ups that had nice fade and arm speed. Pitches with aggression and positive emotion on the mound. 7.32 runner in the sixty. Good student. Named to the World Showcase Top Prospect List.
