LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT

2009 Pre-Draft Showcase

Chad James is a 2009 LHP/OF with a 6'4'', 200 lb. frame from Yukon, OK who attends Yukon. James used a Hi 3/4's release point and everyone of his fastballs was 91-93 in his two inning stint in Cedar Rapids. His curveball has plus 2 plane break and shows the potential to be a plus pitch. His change also is a very good with a chance to be his third high quality offering. James has really come on strong this spring and with his excellent three pitch arsenal he should be a very early pick this year. He has signed with Oklahoma State.
