LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Sunshine East Showcase
Robert Lawler is a 2005 SS/P from Rochester, NY. At 6'0", 170, Lawler is a live bodied athletic infielder with good overall tools. He has a quick bat with a rotational swing approach and some loft in his swing, which he showed when he ripped a ball deep up the right centerfield gap. Lawler has developed more power over the last year and could become a very good offensive player. Defensively, Lawler projects to be a third baseman in the future, where his arm strength and quick hands will be an asset. His actions at shortstop are a bit deliberate to project him there at the pro level for now. Lawler also threw an inning at the showcase topping out at 80 mph. His running ability, arm and hitting skills make him a very good high level college prospect.
