LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 Spring Midwest Workout Showcase (April 22)
James Wood is a 2024 C/RHP/IF with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Dubuque, IA who attends Hempstead. Recorded a 7.85 second sixty yard dash time. Primary catcher with quick feet and some explosiveness out of the chute, stays in line with his target well. Could gain more ground with his footwork, doesn't get off his back side at release, will improve as he smoothes out the operation and cleans some things up. Also worked out in the infield, showed limited feel for the position at present, will need added refinement. Right-handed hitter with an upright stance and a long stride, glides into his swing and tends to get over his front side at times. Easy, low effort swinger, throws his hands at the ball and shows a gap to gap approach. Found some barrels during his round and displayed bat-to-ball skills. Will improve as he stays engaged with his lower half and increases his bat speed. Great student.
