LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2014 Sunshine South Showcase
Tyler Mortenson is a 2015 C/RHP with a 6-4 180 lb. frame from Woodlands, TX who attends The Woodlands College Park HS. Very tall slender build, especially for his position. Graded out higher at this event as a right handed pitcher. Solid mechanics on the mound, long arm circle in back but gets on top of the ball well at release, fast loose arm. Fastball topped at 88 mph, gets 2-seam running action at times with good downhill angle. Hard curveball with power and 12/6 downer bite, tight spin. Split change shows nice tumbling action. Solid actions behind the plate, stays short and compact for his height, quick release, 1.94 best drill pop, 2.03 in games, accurate throws, takes charge during games and has leadership traits. Left handed hitter, long easy swing with a high finish, has some bat speed and lift in his swing, swing works for his build and will continue to improve with strength. Consider a 2-way prospect but wouldn't be surprised if the ceiling isn't higher on the mound. Excellent student.
