LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Sunshine West Showcase
WP - Joe Kent is a 2005 LHP/OF from Billings, MT. Kent is a solidly built 6'2", 195 Left-hander who showed us a smooth delivery from 3/4 with a good looking curveball and an attractive down-hill delivery. The fastball came out of his hand easy and with 85-87mph velocity it had enough life to miss the sweet spot if a batter made contact. He is a projectable type with a good working arm and coming from cold weather Montana it looked to us that there is more to come. His curve broke on 2-planes in the 72-75mph range and was equally as good a pitch and a legitimate out pitch at the next level. He also swung the bat surprisingly well and got several solid hits. Kent is an athlete and there is plenty of untapped potential but what we saw in Arizona was already good enough to select him among the Nation's best players in the PG National at Tropicana, however he was unable to attend.
