LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Showcase
Nate Gillen is a 2017 LHP with a 6-3 165 lb. frame from Estero, FL who attends Estero HS. Long and slender high waisted young build, lots of room to fill out and get stronger. Lands closed on his delivery, creates angle to the plate from a high 3/4's arm slot, still able to get the ball to his glove side, has some whippy arm speed and life. Throws both a 2-seam and 4-seam fastball, 2-seamer gets solid sinking action, 4-seamer a more firm pitch up to 89 mph, gets both pitches down to the bottom of the zone consistently. Slurve type breaking ball, gets good spin at times between a curveball and a slider. Has some interesting tools that should continue to develop as he gets stronger, has followed a very steady development curve over the last three years. Very good student, verbal commitment to Florida Gulf Coast.
