LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 West Academic Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Rhys Appleby is a 2024 RHP/2B, 3B with a durable 5-9 185 lb. frame from San Francisco, CA who attends Archbishop Riordan HS. Started the event clocking a 7.40 60-yard dash. A primary pitcher with a 3-pitch mix that includes a fastball, curveball and a changeup. Shows fundamentally sound mechanics with a clean repeatable delivery out of a 3/4 arm slot. Fastball showed good arm-side run and the curveball had solid 12-6 shape and late life. Appleby struck out three in 2 2/3s innings pitched. Made all the required plays on the dirt working through the baseball and demonstrated he is able to make all the throws from all the Angles. At the plate, he was able to generate excellent bat speed with his strong hands, strong lower half, and barrel up the baseball with some consistency. Excellent student.
