LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Axel Foss is a 2023 RHP/3B, SS with a 6-1 155 lb. frame from Forestdale, MA who attends Thayer Academy. Large, square shouldered frame with long limbs and a lean, projectable build, room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.61 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, starts with a staggered stance on the mound prior to breaking into a chest high leg raise, long and loose arm action through the back working to a three-quarters release point, long stride down the mound with lower half. Worked mostly off of fastball, topped out at 77 mph and showed the ability to challenge up in the zone, will continue to find a consistent release point; flashed a curveball with 11-5 shape, short shape up to 65 mph. Fields the ball out front in the infield, extra step moving into release, glove plays at the backhand, full arm action through the back, makes the plays. Right-handed hitter, begins with a spread and open stance; hands start pulled back deep, full swing path through the zone, keeps hands inside the ball. Shows some looseness to barrel, gets uphill at times, projects with added extension out front. Very good student.
