LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Jr. National Showcase
Brandon Laux is a 2019 RHP/SS with a 6-3 150 lb. frame from Frankfort, IL who attends Lincoln Way East HS. Extra-large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a high waist, room to fill throughout moving forward. Primary righthanded pitcher, gets tall on back side with a slight hip turn at top of delivery with a full hand path, repeats well and stays short through the back with a three-quarters release point. Projects well physically, fastball topped out at 85 mph and showed short running life when down in zone. Did a nice job of living low and holds velocity out of the stretch, shows riding life through zone. Has effort at release but throws lots of strikes with fastball, flashed a short curveball with depth and 11-5 shape at 72 mph, slows slightly at release. Mixed well and threw strikes with both pitches. Very good student.
