LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Noah Dawkins is a 2019 RHP/3B with a 6-0 195 lb. frame from Marietta, GA who attends Kell High School. Medium build and frame, compact lower half, and lots of present strength in frame. Primary right handed pitcher, started with a short rocker step, higher leg lift past belt, and gathered well at balance point. Stays tall through backside with good directionality to the plate. Generated good deception to the plate from an extended three quarter arm slot. Fastball got on hitters quickly at 74-76 mph with heaviness through the zone. Curveball showed good sweep with 9/5 shape at 69 mph and maintained arm speed well. Good feel for mixing pitches for age. Secondary first basemen, showed clean footwork with accurate feeds to the bases and arm strength up to 77 mph. At the plate, started with a slightly crouched stance, open base, and utilized a deeper hand load. Line drive swing plane with natural loft. Showed extension with torque through midsection. Needs to engage lower half more for improved contact and add strength. Very good student.
