LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Northeast Top Prospect Showcase
Thomas Kretzler is a 2016 2B/RHP with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Albany, NY who attends Colonie Central HS. Medium, athletic frame with a lean, projectable build and room to fill out. Ran a 7.30 60-yard dash. Primary infielder, fields the ball out front, over the top arm action and comes out of hand well with strength across, moves well up the middle, longer release from full arm action, gathers well behind ball and shows momentum towards the bag. Also pitched, worked exclusively from the stretch, full through the backside with a three-quarter release. Balanced delivery with a simple leg raise, does a nice job of getting on top of ball. Generates some cut to fastball from release point, topped out at 80 mph and induced ground ball contact down in zone. Curveball flashed 11-5 shape with short depth. Switch-hitter, starts with a high hand set from the right side with a tall, narrow stance. Short stride to the ball with a quick path, line drive swing plane with barrel feel and consistent line drive contact. Creates solid loft from the left side and shows nice strength off the barrel to pull side. Starts with a slightly open stance with a longer stride into contact. Good student.
