LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Jr. National Showcase
Dawson Sweatt is a 2018 LHP/OF/1B with a 6-2 170 lb. frame from Fayetteville, GA who attends Landmark Christian HS. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a high waist, room to fill throughout frame moving forward. Primary lefthanded pitcher, works exclusively from the stretch, shows nice direction to lower half in drive towards plate and generates extension out front. Short arm action through the backside work to an extended three-quarters arm slot, lived down in the zone with fastball, topped out at 84 mph with short running life and occasional sink, has recently worked in the upper-80s and topped out at 89 mph. Has some effort at release, creates angle to fastball and repeats mechanics well. Projects for more velocity with additional lower half. Nice feel for slider and able to collect swings-and-misses with the pitch. Short depth to pitch and can throw 2-8 shaped pitch at 73 mph for strikes with regularity. Very good student.
