2017 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Josiah Siegel is a 2019 LHP with a 6-1 185 lb. frame from Woodstock, GA who attends Woodstock HS. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a long, lean build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.95 60-yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, begins delivery with a hip turn at top of leg lift just above belt, shows quickness to arm and works from an extended three-quarters release point, creating nice angle on fastball which topped at 82 mph. Generates short running life down in the zone and maintained velocity well, induced ground ball contact with steady sinking life and repeats well. Strong feel for secondaries, mixed consistently and had the comfort to throw in any count. Tight 2-8 shaped slider from similar slot, short life but effective and played off fastball well. Lots of confidence in changeup with late diving life at 74 mph and consistently landed it for strikes. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand set at the plate. Upper body dominant swing, does a nice job of getting the barrel out and looks to pull the ball with lift to swing path. Worked the gaps with line drive contact, found the barrel well. Very good student.
