LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Fall Connecticut Showcase
Matt Kustigian is a 2022 RHP with a 5-11 185 lb. frame from Charlton, MA who attends Shepherd Hill Reg. Medium, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present strength proportioned throughout frame. Ran a 7.30 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, begins with a side step, leg lift just below belt and gets tall on backside; short arm action through the back working to an extended three-quarters release, taller finish and can incorporate additional lower half into drive. Creates cut action to fastball, up to 77 mph, short life when working down in the zone, pitched to contact and will continue to refine consistent release point. Nice fading life to changeup in upper-60s; flashed a short breaker up to 63 mph with 10-4 shape. Takes short and quick steps on the charge in the outfield, two hands fielding the ball out front, longer arm action through the back, actions will continue to develop, works on top of throws. Righthanded hitter, begins with an even and slightly open stance with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing, gets mistimed with it occasionally. Linear swing path through the zone, hands start pulled back, gets the barrel to the ball and works to the middle and pull side parts of the field. Very good student.
