LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 World Showcase
Statia made a convincing case for moving into the top 100 list with his performance in Ft Myers. He’s a legit 4-tool middle infielder who only lacks the big power to be at big league average to above average across the board. Statia is a 6.7 runner who turns in consistent big league average running times to first base. He’s a switch hitter with a very fundamentally sound and short stoke to the ball and a slashing, contact oriented approach. If anything, Statia is a little longer from the left side. It’s his defense that really makes him stand out, though. Statia’s big league arm strength is obvious, he threw 90 across the infield and we’ve seen him throw 92 from the mound. He showed us very quick, sure hands at both shortstop and second base during the games and made several outstanding plays. He has outstanding body control and instincts. Hainley is a good student. He could be a good draft pick next June or an even higher one out of college.
