LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 National Showcase  
Charlie Bates is a 2024 SS with a 6-1 185 lb. frame from Palo Alto, CA who attends Palo Alto. Ran a 6.51 60-yard dash. Features a lean build with athleticism that showed in his fluid actions at SS. Has light feet with some bounce that play through the ball extremely well. There’s softness and sureness to the hands where he has quick glove-to-hand ability. Showed easy arm strength across the diamond with the ability to operate from different angles while on the run as well. At the plate, he has a relaxed presence in the box with a smooth LH swing. Loads early with some natural rhythm and balance. The hands flash some easy quickness in how they throw the barrel on a more lofted path through the zone. Verbal commitment to Stanford. Named to the PG All-American Classic.
