LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 West Coast Top Prospect Showcase
Jerrod is a 2005 grad from Canyon High School in Canyon Country, California. He stands 6'2" 200 pounds. He's a big, solidly built player with good strength throughout. Jarrod throws from a high 3/4's release point with some back arch and appears to want to throw overhand. He has good life to his upper 70's fastball and when he keeps it down he shows you the ability to get a lot of groundballs. Jerrod's fastball appears to be heavy and has late action in the zone. He also throws a 66-69 mph curveball that does not benefit from his release point. He might consider going to a slider in the future if he stays high with his arm angle. We've seen better velocity from Jerrod in the past and in warmer weather he can hold it. He's a good pitcher with the ability to improve his tools and contribute greatly at the next level. Jerrod is a very good student.
