LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 West Coast Prospect Showcase
Joseph Simmons III is a 2021 LHP with a 5-10 180 lb. frame from Henderson, NV who attends Bishop Gorman. Medium, square shouldered frame with present strength proportioned throughout build. Ran an 8.97 60-yard dash. Primary lefthanded pitcher, works exclusively out of the stretch, begins with a leg lift up above belt; upper body dominant release and can incorporate additional lower half into drive down the mound. Compact arm action in the back, works to a high three-quarters release point with a short finish through release. Fastball topped out at 70 mph, shows occasional life to arm side, will continue to develop a consistent release point. Changeup is most advanced secondary, maintains hand speed and creates deception while able to induce ground ball contact. Curveball shows 2-8 shape, can throw for strikes up to 60 mph. Excellent student.
