LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 National Underclass South Showcase
Herndon Akridge is a 2018 RHP/MIF with a 5-11 155 lb. frame from Mobile, AL who attends St Pauls Episcopal HS. Young broad shouldered build, lots of room to get stronger, projects well physically. High leg lift delivery, stays tall over the rubber well, arm is fast and the ball comes out clean from a high 3/4's slot, stays on line well, fairly up tempo mechanics. Consistent mid-80's fastball, topped out at 86 mph, attacks aggressively with his fastball and works it to both sides of the plate, powers the ball to the bottom of the zone well. Curveball shows tight spin at times, tends to get on the side of it for more of a slurve shape at this point. Sure to keep improving with additional strength and physical maturity. Good student.
