LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 National Academic Showcase
Kyle John is a 2017 RHP/2B with a 6-0 160 lb. frame from Austin, TX who attends Vista Ridge HS. Lean, athletic build with some present wiry strength, projects to add more to long frame at maturity. Primary righthanded pitcher, presents hitters with a different look as he works to a sidearm release point. Deception in arm slot, whippy arm-action, and delivery, makes it tough for right handed hitters. Low-70's fastball has good armside run and shows sinking action when located down in the strike zone. Also shows developing feel for a slider, could be a quality offering with more command in the strike zone. Right handed hitter, starts with open stance, shows some bat speed. Can get off balance at times, but when base is solid and lower-half is on time strength plays well to gaps, has hitting tools to work with. Tremendous student.
