LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 South Prospect Showcase
Nate Heffline is a 2020 1B/LHP with a 6-4 230 lb. frame from Trophy Club, TX who attends Byron Nelson HS. Extra big and strong well proportioned build. Right handed hitter, left handed thrower. Hits from an open stance with an uphill swing plane, power approach, will occasionally dip his back side and get too under the ball but develops bat speed and can drive the ball from gap to gap, picked up game doubles deep to both alleys, uses his strong lower half well to help generate power. Also pitched, drop and drive mechanics with lots of early drift to the plate, will need to learn to stay back and use his leverage and strength, 3/4's down to low 3/4's at times. Fastball topped out at 82 mph, lots of velocity variance and has some feel with his fastball and throws strikes with it. Tends to slow arm severely on his off-speed pitches, slider is the most usable of the three. Good student.
