LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 National Showcase  
Taft Middleton is a 2024 LHP/1B with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from Columbus, GA who attends Brookstone. Large, broad shouldered frame with present physical strength proportioned throughout. Ran a 6.83 60-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher but didn't throw in this look. Fields the ball out front with two hands at first base, moves well on feet away from the bag, shows balance in actions. Left-handed hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate, utilizes a short rock back movement at start of load. Incorporates physical strength well into swing, looks to lift at the point of contact, can impact the ball to the pull side with authority when squared up, occasionally gets to front side early, shorter to the ball with full finish through point of contact. Very good student. Verbal commitment to Auburn.
