LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 13U East Showcase
Jake Downing is a 2026 SS/3B with a 5-3 105 lb. frame from Mount Pleasant, SC who attends Wando. Young, athletic frame with narrow shoulders and a lean frame with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 9.21 60-yard dash. Primary shortstop, fields the ball out front, takes short steps moving towards the ball, hands work at the ball, shows accuracy across the diamond and can drop slot on the charge. Shows quickness to actions in the outfield, fields the ball to side with some bend at waist, low effort release with loose arm stroke, worked behind the ball on approach. Right-handed hitter, begins with a spread stance and a high hand set at the plate; weight starts on back side with short shift moving into contact. Rotational swing with contact oriented swing, lowers hands at start of path, works to pull side with comfort and best when working on a linear path, bat speed will continue to develop with added strength. Very good student.
