LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Northern CA Underclass Showcase
Tyler Park-Hess is a 6'4" 240 pound 2007 catcher and right handed pitcher from Alamo, California who attends De LaSalle High School. He is a big boned kid with an extra large frame and has a very mature body with square shoulders. During the workout, he threw 81 mph to second with a very good pop time of 1.9. Tyler has the ability to unfold quickly behind the plate and has a quick release with good carry on his throws. At the plate, he has good raw power and is strong enough to drive the ball to both gaps with authority. Park-Hess has a good idea with his approach to hitting. He gathers very well with his lower half and centers the ball very well. On the mound, Tyler was a pleasant surprise with a 3/4 arm slot and a full arm action in back. He showed some good arm speed out front and the ball leaves his hand very easy. His fastball hit 90 mph and he has the ability and the feel to throw it for strikes. Park-Hess also throws a curveball in the mid 60's that is more of a show pitch and a good hard split finger fastball in the high 70's that had good tumble to it. Tyler is a quality student and has a chance to stand alone from others at his position. He is an outstanding two way prospect with unlimited potential.
