LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 Sunshine South Showcase
Slade Schwenke is a 2016 RHP/1B with a 6-2 175 lb. frame from Cypress, TX who attends Cypress Woods HS. Tall slender build, lots of room to get stronger. Big leg raise/back turn delivery, quick arm circle, 3/4's arm slot, stays on line well in delivery but tends to overstride out front and lose balance on release. Mid-70's fastball, topped out at 78 mph, gets good cutting action on fastball to the glove side, straight middle to arm side. Change up was a good pitch and could throw more. Tended to get on side of curveball for flatter, sweeping break, can develop a true slider out of his cut fastball in the future. Right handed hitter, stays on back side during swing, handled the barrel well, line drive swing plane, mid to opposite field contact. Good student.
