2021 Great Lakes Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Aaron Pirkle is a 2022 LHP/1B/OF with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from New Albany, OH who attends New Albany. Medium athletic build with long arms and legs and plenty of physical projectability. Long arm action on the mound with an extended 3/4's arm slot that creates good angle to plate, has some whip coming through and good extension out front. Fastball worked up to 84 mph, mostly straight with occasional arm side running life. Still developing feel for spinning the ball, tends to release his curveball very early due to his arm stroke length. 7.53 runner in the sixty, showed his arm looseness and strength well in the outfield on defense during drills. Left handed hitter, hits from a deep barred load and a hunched over stance, short inside swing with a downhill swing path, flashes some bat speed out front when he gets the barrel there on time. Key to his development will improving his ability to spin the ball and create a solid second pitch. Excellent student.
