LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 West Coast Underclass Showcase
Conor Tope is a 2017 C/RHP with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Capistrano Beach, CA who attends J Serra HS. Medium, broad shouldered build with present strength throughout build. Primary catcher, gains some ground with lower half, shows actions behind the plate that project with continued refinement, short arm action with quickness to it, quick transfer and gets it out of glove, accurate throws down to second base, shows good catch and throws skills. Also pitched, full hands over head delivery with hip turn at top, stays online and works to a tight and compact high three-quarter arm slot. Tight through release, fastball topped at 82 mph, showed ability to change eye levels effectively. Maintains arm speed on changeup well, fading life with dive down in zone. Curveball shows 10-4 with tilt, slider look at 66 mph, feel to mix all three. Right-handed hitter, starts with a wide base and high hand set. Upper body swing, opens front side early at times but gets the barrel to it and shows nice strength off barrel. Line drive swing plane, creates hard contact to all fields and projects for more with extension in swing. Excellent student.
