LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 National Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
Asher Waitkus is a 2025 OF/RHP, 3B with a 6-0 168 lb. frame from Chesterfield, MO who attends Westminster Christian Academy. Recorded a 7.19 sixty yard dash time. Taller frame with a slender build and room to fill. Primary outfielder, fields one-handed off front foot, clean glove actions and carries momentum well. Side shuffle gather and on line throws with good flight. Also threw an inning on the mound. Worked exclusively out of the stretch with a leg lift out and around up to the belt level and the glove stays at the letters and moves up the head or shoulder area. Works from the first base side of the rubber down the mound with some extension. Shows a longer arm action and a lower three- quarters arm slot. Fastball shows some life and pairs well with the curveball that has some 11-5/10-4 shape to it. Flashed a change-up that he killed the spin on. Right-handed hitter, starts with a wider base and slightly closed off front side, utilizes a bigger leg lift trigger. Hands get deep in load with some strength and barrel whip through the zone with some bat speed. Good feel for the barrel with solid contact to the pull side. Intriguing two-way player with flashes of strength. Great student.
