LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Showcase
Trevor Funk is a 2007 right hand pitcher from American School, residing in Vero Beach, FL. Funk has a strong, broad, mature type build on his impressive 6'5" 230 lb. frame. He is built like a durable workhorse. Funk was ranked #84 among PG National Top 85 pitchers. He has a long arm action with some reach behind on the backside of his arm arc, where his hand becomes visible toward 1st base. His arm is strong with average speed. Funk pitches with some effort but has decent mechanics, with some rhythm created by a slight rock back over the rubber. He had good direction toward the plate and commanded his body pretty well. He, like a lot of young, big pitchers is still learning to use his entire body and he will continue to get better. Funk's fastball topped at 87 and sat 82-86 mph. His best pitch was his 69 mph curveball that had 12/6ish shape and rolling action, with some depth in the zone. With more extension, both his fastball and curveball will bump up a notch in quality. That more than anything is where Funk has a chance to really continue to develop. The more he can use that big, strong body to provide power and extension, the better all his stuff will be. Funk also showed a nice change-up, thrown with plus plus arm speed and very good feel. Funk is a D1 caliber prospect and will continue to develop in college. He may get some scout attention this spring, but he is still a work in progress, with college seeming to be the best bet to continue is development.
