LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 National Underclass South Showcase
Manuel Contreras is a 2022 3B/RHP/OF with a 5-11 180 lb. frame from Houston, TX who attends Dobie HS. Medium build with good strength for a freshman, especially in his lower half. Left handed hitter, short stride into contact with a lean and lift approach, swings hard and hits with intent, some beginning young bat speed and hand quickness with more to come. Likely first base future tools on defense, has soft hands at the ball but will have to continue to work hard on his lower half quickness and speed. Also pitched, high 3/4's arm slot with an easy effort delivery, can use his strong lower half more in generating power to the plate, loose arm. Consistent mid-70's fastball with some arm side running life at times. Landed his curveball well with good arm speed and a short 11/5 shape. Good student.
