LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Sunshine East Showcase
Anthony Katchuk is a 2006 1B/RHP/OF from Shorecrest Prep HS in Safety Harbor, FL, with a 6'1", 195 lb. frame. He has a strong build with athletic actions. He carries those actions over to first base where he shows good footwork around the bag with good hands. Offensively he is a right handed hitter that has the tools to be a very good hitter. The ball jumps off his bat on contact and shows present raw power, especially to the pull side. When he learns to shorten things up, he is going to be a very good hitter that should produce runs in the middle of the order at the next level. On the mound he throws from a 3/4 arm slot. His fastball topped out at 77 mph with some late life. His changeup had good fade and sink at 69 mph, and he also mixed in a 69 mph curveball with very good rotation. Katchuk shows a feel for pitching, but at the plate is where he will do some damage. He is also a good student.
