LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 South Prospect Showcase  
John Bayless is a 2026 1B/LHP/OF with a 5-10 140 lb. frame from Farmington, NM who attends Piedra Vista High School. Medium frame with a lean build. Ran an 8.03 second 60-yard dash. Primary first baseman, quicker movements around the position, good hands and easy mover through receiving it, like the control of the process and arm works up to 80 mph on throws. Also pitches, stretch only and three-quarters release, longer arm stroke that he hides well, fastball plays true in upper-70s, showed some feel to spin it as well. Left-handed hitter, simple process and moves in well, throws the barrel out on a level path, able to spray the field with simple line drive contact, projects well to added strength.
