LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 National Academic Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Nathan Patterson is a 2027 OF/LHP/1B with a 5-8 149 lb. frame from Cumming, GA who attends Forsyth Central. Smaller young build with lots of growing ahead of him. 7.68 runner in the sixty. Primary outfielder on defense, comes to the ball aggressively and fields it cleanly, throws from a lower slot that can be raised for better carry, developing arm strength. Also played first base and showed good fielding fundamentals and glove work, made plays cleanly. Left handed hitter, has a busy pre-swing routine with an inward toe tap trigger, tough swing approach to be consistent on timing, swings hard and has the beginnings of some raw bat speed, should continue to improve with additional strength and some adjustments. Also pitched, works from the stretch with a belt high hand and leg raise, compact arm action in back to a high 3/4's arm slot. Fastball was consistently in the low 70's with some occasional cutting action, also threw a short curveball with some 1/7 shape. Good student.
