2006 Academic Showcase
Erik DuCharme is a 2007 RHP/3B with a 6'1'', 185 lb. frame from Lake Mary FL, who attends Lake Mary Prep. He has a square shouldered athletic build that should fill out well in the future. DuCharme has a balanced delivery over the rubber and throws with a quick, compact arm action. His arm works smoothly and the ball comes out of his hand easily. His overall mechanics are clean and repeatable and he consistently throws strikes low in the strike zone. DuCharme's fastball was 80-83 mph and was pretty straight. With his easy arm and delivery it looks as if DuCharme should be throwing harder. He throws a 77 mph change up with good arm speed that looks a lot like his fastball and has some tailing action. DuCharme's 62-65 mph curveball is a bit soft but has good spin and a 12/6 downer break. All the pieces are there for DuCharme to take a step forward with his velocity and raw stuff. Keep a close eye on him. DuCharme is an outstanding student.
