LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 National Academic Showcase  
Payton Friske is a 2023 LHP/1B with a 5-11 180 lb. frame from Virginia Beach, VA who attends First Colonial. Medium frame with a lean frame showing room to fill out in the future. Ran a 8.01 second sixty yard dash. Primary Left-Handed Pitcher, working exclusively from the stretch. Working into a belt high lift to stride. Drops and drives as he stays direct to the dish. Released from a higher three-quarter slot with a fluid arm action. Fastball up to 78 mph with arm side run and proved he could work all four quadrants. Mixed in a slider showing horizontal movements and a fading changeup as well. Secondary First Baseman, sitting back on the baseball as he makes sure to keep it in front of him. Scooped it up with some feel during drills and was confident with the leather. Arm was accurate to bags and proved to have some feel for turning two. Left-Handed Hitter, starting even with a lower hand set. Creates separation as he strides out and lands in a balanced position. Stayed linear as he impacted out front. Proved he could spray it to all fields. Outstanding Student.
