LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Summer Midwest Workout Showcase  
Elijah Balderas is a 2022 C/RHP with a 6-0 190 lb. frame from Jewell, IA who attends South Hamilton. Recorded a 7.38 second sixty yard dash time. Primary catcher with an even base and a high set up. Transfer takes place well below the chest, tends to stand straight up to throw. Segmented actions at present, made accurate throws and recorded a 2.08 second pop time at 70 mph. Will improve as he stays low throughout the process and gains more ground towards second base. Right-handed hitter with an even base, gets the foot down very early and lays the bat flat prior to launch. Two part swing with stiff actions and developing barrel control. Will improve as he smooths out the operation. Has the strength to impact the ball, looked his best when staying towards the middle of the field.
