LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
Ethan Rainha is a 2023 SS/RHP/2B with a 5-9 150 lb. frame from Tolland, CT who attends East Catholic. Recorded a 7.72 second sixty-yard dash time. Long, lean frame with a high waist and plenty of room to add strength. Primary infielder with developing defensive skill set; incorporates long strides to range laterally to both sides, fielding cleanly out in front with softness to his hands. Works downhill through the baseball for the most part, transferring smoothly to throw and get rid of the baseball. Displayed accurate throws from a higher arm slot across the diamond, while recording arm strength up to 76 mph. Left-handed hitter that hits from a slightly open stance with a high hand set, low back elbow and leg lift trigger. Incorporates rotational lower half mechanics to get to launch, while exhibiting a most linear swing plane to the ball and developing bat-to-ball skills. Whole field approach with good feel for the barrel and occasional line drive impact. Fundamentally sound defender with plenty of projection remaining, will continue to improve on both sides of the ball as he adds strength and matures. Good Student.
