LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Underclass National Showcase
Patrick Hackett -- It must be something about New Jersey but Hackett is very similar to another Jersey catcher who played on the same team at the World Underclass, Jayson Hernandez, except that Hackett is a year older and hits left handed. Hackett takes a hard, full rip at the ball with very good bat speed. He has a quick trigger and made very good contact in both games and batting practice. Hackett looks like he’s going to hit at the next level and his swing even has some loft in it that could translate into some serious power. Patrick has good defensive skills, but could still improve his arm strength a bit. Definitely a next level prospect.
