LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2013 World Showcase
Pedro Mercado Ramirez is a 2013 LHP with a 6-1 156 lb. frame from San Juan, PR. Slender young build, lots of room to fill out. Fast paced drifting delivery with long stride out, full arm circle, arm works well coming through. Fastball topped out at 83 mph, has gained velocity in the last month, has good late fastball life, works to the bottom of the zone and pitches to spots. Throws two types of breaking ball, big breaking curveball with good spin and 2-plane shape, shorter slider with sharpness at times, tends to slow arm somewhat on breaking ball release. Developing change up. Has the ability to pitch and mix it up, hits corners and will back door right handed hitters effectively. Very good chance to keep improving.
