LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Academic Showcase
Taylor Babich is a 2007 RHP/3B/1B with a 6'2'', 180 lb. frame from Tampa FL, who attends Berkeley Preparatory HS. He has a nice pitcher's body, with long arms, wide shoulders and projectable strength gains. Babich has a full leg raise in his delivery and a long, extended arm action that ends up with a 3/4's slinging release point. He gets good extension out front and finishes smoothly. Babich's fastball was 78-80 mph and he had nice cutting action on it at times coming across the ball. His best secondary pitch was a 71 mph change up that had good arm speed. His 69 mph curveball flashed some sharpness. Babich didn't have much effort in his delivery, stayed balanced and did a good job throwing strikes. Babich is also a third baseman and showed some promise with the bat, although his mechanics are on the raw side. He makes solid line drive contact and has nice strength in his swing. He could develop with the bat as well as on the mound. Babich is a good student.
