LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Underclass National Showcase
Aaron Lerma -- Lerma is a sophomore catcher from Texas with very strong hips and thighs. He hits from a no load, no stride approach at the plate that doesn’t use this strength to it's full extent, but Lerma still generates good bat speed. Lerma has a slashing swing that shoots line drives consistently towards the middle of the field. The ball jumps off Lerma’s bat and he was right on most pitches it seemed. Defensively, Lerma’s arm strength is playable right now and his pop times are excellent for a young catcher because of his quickness and compact actions. If he develops more power in his arm over the next couple of years, Lerma’s pop times are going to be in the elite range. Lerma is also a very good student.
