LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 World Showcase  
Derek (DJ) King is a 2014 SS/RHP/2B with a 6-2 190 lb. frame from Ft Meade, FL who attends Fort Meade HS. Tall athletic build, good present strength, very projectable physically. Right handed hitter, open high hand start, short direct path to the ball, shifts into contact well, quick hands, lots of present bat speed, loose and extended out front, hit the ball very hard in games, big power potential. 7.00 runner, shows lateral agility and range, arm strength with carry, accurate throws, clean actions all around, could outgrow the middle of the infield. Also pitched, high 3/4's arm slot, gets downhill well, low effort release, big crossfire on release. Mid-80's fastball, topped at 86 mph, worked fastball aggressively for strikes early in the count, hard breaking 11/5 curveball with sharp biting action, has two-way potential on the mound. Very interesting prospect. Good student.
