LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2011 Sunshine South Showcase
Josh Atherton is a 2013 3B/RHP with a 6-5 210 lb. frame from Spring, TX who attends Klein HS. Very good athletic build for his age, strong now with additional strength potential. Balanced hitting stance, hands back with some wrap, busy load, accelerates the barrel, flashes pull power potential, swing can be long/inconsistent now but tools there to improve. Throws carry on defense, footwork still developing, may out grow 3B, 7.61 runner. Also pitches, sound mechanics, leg tuck delivery, good balance and direction, hides ball well, high 3/4's release point, clean release. Fastball to 81 mph, looks like he can throw hard now and will in the future, big sweeping curveball from lower release point. Should continue to improve in all aspects, might have higher ceiling as RHP. Excellent student.
