LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Alex Blodgett is a 2008 RHP with a 6'4'', 190 lb. frame from Lexington, KY who attends Tates Creek HS. He has a high waisted build with long limbs and good looseness. Blodgett has a deep 2-piece arm action and a tall delivery. He tends to land closed prior to release and throws across his body but maintains very good downhill angle to the plate on his pitches and gets good extension out front. Better balance and direction to the plate should help him, but what he's doing now isn't bad either as it seems to work for him. Blodgett's fastball topped out at 92 mph with good life and angle at the plate. His curveball was 74 mph and didn't have a sharp, hard bite to it but Blodgett had very good feel for it and used to spot to get outs. Blodgett had a nice idea what he was doing on the mound and executed his plan. He should continue to improve as he gets stronger. He is a good student off the field.
