LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Academic Showcase
Clayton Rische is a 2007 RHP with a 6'4'', 180 lb. frame from Barrington IL, who attends Barrington HS. He has a tall, angular frame with long arms and legs and hasn't begun to get strong yet. Rische has sound pitching mechanics and a smooth arm action that is quick in back. He repeats his delivery and release point at high 3/4's well, especially on his fastball. Rische's fastball was 77-78 mph with lots of consistent sinking action. He had a slurve type break on a 65 mph breaking ball and had less control of this pitch than of his fastball. We didn't see a change up. Rische is projectable to add strength and velocity and should be working on improving his off speed stuff as he gets stronger. He is an excellent student.
