LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 West Coast Underclass Showcase
JP Mortensen is a 2020 SS/2B with a 5-6 115 lb. frame from Eden, UT who attends Weber HS. Compact frame with a lean, build. Shows plenty of room for additional size with strength. Ran a 8.20 sixty yard dash. Primary shortstop with clean footwork while ranging to and surrounding the baseball. Funnels the baseball cleanly out front with developing fluidity. Shows a compact arm action at release that generated some carry across the infield with maintaining momentum towards the bag, topped at 69 mph. Right handed hitter with a balanced, slightly open stance. Movies in to contact well while shifting to baseball with lower half. Solid, mid-field approach with a line drive plane through extension. Lets the ball travel to a deeper position at times, but flashed the ability to handle the barrel and hit the baseball the other way. Athletic actions at the plate as well as defensively, tools will continue to develop with physical development and repetition. Very good student as well.
