LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Nor Cal Underclass Showcase
Chris Bianchi is a 2008 LHP/OF with a 6'2'', 185 lb. frame from Merced CA, who attends Golden Valley HS. He has a strong, broad build on a good frame. Bianchi is a very interesting pitching prosepct and for some college programs could also be considered a two-way prospect. On the mound he has a lively arm and lively stuff. He is still developing command but has all the pitches to be very successful in college and then likely beyond. He has a strong arm (over the top slot) and the ball comes out of his hand easily. His fastball (82-85) has good run and at times was heavy. Bianchi's curveball has good bite and is a potential "out-pitch". He added and subtracted with both the fastball and the curveball, and also showed a change-up. He really does have all the pitches and a good arm, he just needs some polish and to find a consistent release point. At the plate he showed power potential, doing so with an easy swing. His hands work well and he made hard, loud contact.
