LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase
Brad Bonney is a 6'0"-180 lb., left handed hitting outfielder from Norfolk, Virginia. In the outfield he showed solid arm strength throwing 83 mph. Bonney has very good on line carry on his throws with athletic and balanced actions to go along with good instincts and first step quickness in the outfield. At the plate, Brad chokes up on the bat a bit, and has a slashing, line drive swing. He has a small, late load, and is focused on hitting the ball up the middle and to the opposite field, which seemed to work for him with the wood bat. Bonney has some raw bat speed that probably translates much better with metal in his hands. Overall, he's an interesting left/left player with a strong athletic body. It would also be interesting to see if Bonney's outfield arm strength would translate to the mound. Brad is a very good student who will develop into a solid DI player.
