LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Sunshine West Showcase
Eric McKnight is a 2008 1B with a 6'2'', 210 lb. frame from Santee, CA, who attends West Hills HS. McKnight is a young player with an extra large frame and present strength. Defensively he moves well around the first base bag with playable fielding skills. At the plate he hits from a straight away and slightly crouched stance. McKnight uses a power approach at the plate with a good bat path to the ball. He shows good bat speed through the hitting zone, and hits line drives to all parts of the field. McKnight stays balanced throughout his swing getting good leverage at the point of contact. Strength in his swing with projectable power in the future. He can really turn on the inside fastball putting a charge in the ball. McKnight projects as a middle of the order run producer who will hit for power in the future. He is also an excellent student.
