LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Luis De La Cruz is a 2023 LHP/OF with a 5-7 145 lb. frame from Lawrence, MA who attends St. John's Preparatory. Developing build that stands to improve drastically as he progresses. Primary pitcher, has a long whippy arm action from a high three-quarters slot. Smooth and repeatable mechanics with good direction down the hill. Arm strength will improve nicely alongside his build. Fastball up to 75 with occasional cutting actions. Good feel for the zone. Mixes in an 11-to-5 shaped curveball that shows great promise with strong depth and bite down. Also throws a 64 mph changeup with some slight late sink to the plate. At the plate, uses an upright and open stance with a hovering leg kick trigger. Still understanding his timing at the plate but sprays line drives when on time. Great student in the classroom.
