LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 South Top Prospect Showcase
Nathan Flake is a 2017 LHP/1B, OF with a 6-2 185 lb. frame from Liberty Hill, TX who attends Liberty Hill High School. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and long, lean limbs with additional room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.13 60-yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, begins delivery with a high leg lift up past belt, quick coming through delivery and lands slightly closed with front foot. Short arm stroke coming through the back and works to a three-quarters arm slot, able to create natural cutting life to fastball with release point, topped out at 77 mph. Flashed both a 1-7 curveball with tight rotation and short depth, as well as a changeup at 68 mph subtle fading life. Fields the ball out front at first base, developing actions to footwork off the bag, moves well on charge, similar short arm action on throws across. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a very wide base and a high hand set and back elbow in the box. Full swing coming through the zone and keeps hands in throughout, gets to front side early at times, looks to lift at point of contact, creates steady contact to the middle and pull side parts of the field with some carry off the barrel when squared. Excellent student.
