LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Great Lakes Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Jake Held is a 2022 RHP/OF with a 5-11 155 lb. frame from Commerce Twp., MI who attends Lakeland. Slender young athletic build with plenty of room to get stronger. High energy delivery with a quick front side, works from the stretch and stays compact with his mechanics and arm stroke, will fall off to the first base side on release. Fastball topped out at 82 mph, has some sink down in the zone and tends to straighten out up, slurve type curveball has some spin to it and can be landed for strikes when he doesn't overthrow the pitch. Straight change had some float and feel. 6.80 runner in the sixty. Has quick feet and aggressive actions in the outfield, stays directional with his lower half well, stays on top of his throws from on line carry. Right handed hitter, turns in his shoulder to start his swing, rotational one-piece swing with some raw bat speed. Good overall athlete who should continue to improve with consistency and repetitions.
