LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Leif Reardon is a 2024 3B/RHP with a 5-9 185 lb. frame from Sudbury, MA who attends Lincoln-Sudbury Regional. Medium, square shouldered frame with present strength spread throughout frame. Ran a 7.80 60-yard dash. Primary third baseman, takes short steps moving towards the ball and can incorporate additional lower half into actions, fields the ball out front, strides open into lower half, accurate throws across the diamond with arm strength which will continue to develop. Also pitched, abbreviated windup, keeps hands low near belt and works with a quick-tempo in delivery; shorter arm action through the back working to a three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 74 mph, mostly true in life, occasionally opens front side early, mixed a curveball with 11-5 shape up to 64 mph. Right-handed hitter, begins with a spread stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; upper body dominant swing and can continue to incorporate additional lower half into mechanics. Handsy swing, works on a linear path throughout the zone, looks to pull at point of contact, occasionally gets around the ball, creates some impact from physical strength. Very good student.
