LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine Southwest Showcase
Zharius McAllister is a 2027 1B/RHP/3B with a 5-10 180 lb. frame from Gilbert, AZ who attends American Leadership Academy Gilbert North. Medium build with some physicality and strength for his age. 8.03 runner in the sixty. Primary first baseman on defense, step by step actions to the ball, glove tends to be late getting down, long transition and arm action on his throws. Also plays some third base with similar actions, makes accurate throws with developing arm strength, can work on getting rid of the ball more quickly. Right handed hitter, hits from a straight stance with a hand drop load and low hand start, occasional double toe tap timer, not consistent on his present timing, line drive swing plane, has some strength in his swing and can impact the ball but will need to simplify his approach. Took a turn on the mound, works from the stretch with drop and drive mechanics to the plate, short and compact high 3/4's arm action, some energy at release. Fastball worked in the low 70's and topped out at 74 mph, mostly straight with occasional arm side life, threw his fastball for strikes. Still developing feel for a soft downer curveball. Excellent student.
