LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 World Showcase
Nathan Striz is a 2007 RHP with a 6'2'', 210 lb. frame from Lakeland FL, who attends Santa Fe Catholic HS. He has a strong, mature build and looked like he had firmed up some over the off season and was in very good shape. Striz throws from a straight up delivery with a good even pace to it. His arm action is short and quick in back. Striz's fastball was 88 mph from the stretch, 90-91 mph from the wind up and he threw one at 93 mph. Striz gets some run and sink on his fastball but it's pretty "light" and he needs to work it around the strike zone to be most effective. His best off speed pitch this day was a 81 mph change up that had very good life at times. He throws a mid-70's breaking ball with a slider break that has good sharpness and he commands it well. Striz will probably be encouraged to either go with a true slider in the 80's at the next level or widen the break on what he's throwing now. Overall, Striz is a polished pitcher with a strong arm and three solid pitches to attack hitters with. He's a good student who has signed to go to North Carolina.
