LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 Northwest Showcase
Shawn DeFord is a 2015 LHP with a 5-10 165 lb. frame from Milwaukie, OR who attends Rex Putnam HS. Medium athletic build, young look. Clean repeatable delivery mechanics, compact quick arm action, high 3/4's arm slot, stays on top at release and works downhill. Upper 70's fastball, topped out at 81 mph early, mostly straight with occasional running action low in the zone. Nice change up with fading action. Curveball flashes good spin and some 1/7 depth. Fine tuning command will be key to his future success, tends to nibble and just miss his spots. Has the pitches to mix and change speeds.
