LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine South Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Ethan Mendez is a 2027 MIF/RHP/3B with a 5-8 155 lb. frame from Baytown, TX who attends Bo Porter Academy. Primary SS with a medium sized frame. Fields it deep with a two hand gather and funnel to chest. Showed some lateral range and could get to the ball well. Will need to clean up the arm action and slot to stay at short. Profiles better on the corner for now. Throws made with good accuracy and on a line. Was up to 78 from the infield and ran a 7.76 sixty. Right-handed hitter with a medium wide base and a balanced stance. Has a more pull side-oriented approach and could impact it to pull when on time. Uses a medium sized leg lift and rock back for timing and rhythm. Showed quick hands with some strength. Will need to develop more bat speed moving forward which will come with added strength. Also pitched throwing from the stretch. Comes up quick to the belt with a medium sized arm swing into a high 3/4 slot working downhill well. Can create good angle from the slot when he stays on top. Slider was his main secondary and keeps it in lane well. Fastball showed good life to it when mechanics were fluid.
