LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Showcase
Connor Bernatz is a 2007 right hand hitting outfielder from Mater Dai HS, residing in Newport Beach, CA. Bernatz has an athletic, long, lithe build on a thin 6'2" 170 lb. frame that is still developing and has plenty of room to fill out. Though he did not have the best results at PG National, Bernatz looks like a player that is going to hit, particularly when he starts to develop more physicality. He has a swing with balance and a very nice hand path that consistently stays inside the ball. His hands work quite well in his swing that is free, easy, and quite lively. Bernatz also has a quiet approach and does not force anything at the plate. As he gains strength in the coming years, Bernatz will start to gain a lot of attention as a hitter. He has a chance to develop near average power and to hit for average. In the outfield Bernatz showed that he has a strong arm that carries well. He approaches the ball well and runs good routes. Bernatz is an athletic outfielder that will continue to get better and better the more he plays. He ran 4.30 home/1st with a 6.84 60 yard time that actually may get a bit better with lower body strength gains. Bernatz is a projectable talent. He is a D1 caliber athlete and has a chance to develop into a very good professional prospect in the coming years.
