LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Elliott Byers is a 2008 RHP with a 6'3'', 210 lb. frame from Moscow, PA who attends Scranton Prep. He has a large, broad shouldered frame and very good strength, especially in his lower half. Byers has a full windup and a tall and fall delivery with some effort on release. He lands on a stiff front leg and has some recoil on release but has a hard downhill plane to the plate on his pitches from an overhand release point. Byers' velocity seemed to have plateaued for a while but has taken a jump up this summer. He topped out at 93 mph in Cincinnati. His curveball was a plus pitch for him at times, with hard 12/6 downer bite and it was short and late in the strike zone frequently. Byers also threw a couple of change ups that were OK. His overall stuff was impressive. Byers is also a very good student.
