LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Spring Top Prospect
Jerrick is a 6-5 senior first baseman from Iowa with a Big League body and the potential to get very strong in the future. This is a young man who could be a sleeper if he keeps developing his batting approach. His swing is smooth and tension free with good bat speed and very good extension through the ball. There’s a lot of power in Jerrick’s swing that he isn’t showing right now and we caught a glimpse of it during the showcase games when he rocketed a double off the left field wall. Most of the time Jerrick has a contact approach and hits to all fields and rarely pulls the ball. With his swing, strength and leverage, though, he could be consistently attacking the ball and driving it hard. Jerrick is a good defender at first with good footwork around the bag. He is a very good student. Keep an eye on him!
