LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Ryan O'Sullivan is a 2008 RHP/SS with a 6'1'', 180 lb. frame from El Cajon, CA who attends Valhalla HS. He has an athletic, angular build with broad shoulders and some present strength. O'Sullivan is one of the top 2-way prospects in the country and was named an Aflac All-American. On the mound, he has a big leg kick to start his delivery and a busy, complicated delivery that he is athletic enough to repeat. O'Sullivan has a long, fast arm action with plenty of extension. He gets very good running and sinking action on a fastball that was consistently in the 89-91 mph range. He threw a slurve type slider at 77 mph with good depth and had a nice change up at 80 mph with some sink as well. He looks like a ground ball machine who doesn't have a plus pitch but who pitches low with life. As a position player, O'Sullivan projects at third base. He has a very good arm and can run and field on the move with plus body control. He lacks the range to stay at shortstop down the road. At the plate, O'Sullivan has a loose, easy swing with length and extension for future power. The ball comes off his bat hard and he has easy bat speed. Like many young hitters, O'Sullivan will have to keep working on the timing of his swing. He's a top athlete who could end up at the highest levels on either side of the ball. Selected to 2007 Aflac All-American team.
