LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Ohio Valley Showcase
Nicholas Parrish is a 2018 LHP/1B with a 6-2 165 lb. frame from Louisville, KY who attends Trinity. Large frame with slender, athletic present build; good very good projection remaining. Primary lefthanded pitcher, controlled effort to delivery with some head violence at release, does a good job getting online with hips into drive, lands clean, medium-length arm stroke through the back, hooks deep for leverage, gets up to three quarters slot release and creates angle to the plate. Fastball worked 78-83 mph, shows good arm side life to the pitch. Full complement of secondary offerings. Sharp slider with tight, late break; tilting shape that can miss bats. Showed curveball with slower 1/7 shape and quality depth, did a good job landing it for strikes. Quality feel for his changeup, turns it over well out front and generates quality fade. Good lefthanded pitcher follow for '18 class. Very good student; named to 2017 Ohio Valley Showcase Top Prospect List.
