LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2012 Sunshine South Showcase
Torin Hickman is a 2013 C/RHP, 3B with a 5-11 195 lb. frame from Chester, TX who attends Woodville HS. Stocky strong build, athletic look. Two-way prospect. Solid catch/throw tools behind the plate, very good raw arm strength, receives ball well, can improve footwork on throws, 1.98 best pop time. Right handed hitter, spread stance with busy rock back load, swings hard, creates bat speed but needs better balance, shows gap power when squared up, calmer approach would produce more consistent contact. Grades out better as pitching prospect. Simple delivery mechanics, fast loose arm, high 3/4's release point, good direction to the plate. Fastball to 88 mph with good riding life up in zone, straight down in zone, curveball flashes plus spin with good velocity and sharp biting action, throws strikes with both pitches. Lots of tools to develop. Good student.
