LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 Jr. National Showcase
Cooper Porter is a 2020 SS/RHP with a 5-10 150 lb. frame from Cedar Grove, NC who attends Orange. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a high waist, projectable build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.10 60-yard dash. Primary shortstop, moves well on feet with longer strides ranging up the middle, shows athleticism to actions, moves well on the charge and showed clean footwork, hands play out front, shows arm strength on throws across, occasionally gets under the ball at release, good carry out of hand. Also pitched, side step moving into a higher leg lift; full arm action through the back working to a high three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 84 mph, mostly true in life, flashed an 11-5 shaped curveball; did a nice job of filling the zone. Switch-hitter, swing more refined from the left side at present; begins with a slightly open stance and a high hand set and back elbow. Quick and loose hands, does a nice job of getting the barrel out front with extension, handles the barrel with occasional loft at point of contact, nice carry when squared. Double toe tap for timing at the start of swing righthanded, stays inside the ball and short to it, linear path with a contact oriented approach and line drives coming off the barrel. Very good student. Verbal commitment to North Carolina State.
