LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Atlantic Coast Top Prospect Showcase
Darley is a 5-7, 155 lb infielder from Virginia with some present strength. He's a hustling 100% player who loves to play the game. He's a 7.31 runner who threw 73 mph during infield drills. Darley is a primary shortstop but is better suidted for second base at the next level. Actually, Darley is the kind of player who will play anywhere on the field if it gets him into the ball game. Offensively, Darley has a big leg raise trigger and happy feet, which can leave him late to the ball when starting his swing. He has an aggressive line drive swing and can move the bat head around and make contact to all fields. Darley also pitches and has an effective pitching style. He has a 78 mph fastball and 64 mph curveball and throws a pretty darned good knuckleball around 68-69 mph that he mixes in. Darley throws just hard enough to keep hitters honest, throws strikes and the knuckleball gets the hitters out.
