LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Nicholas Taratko is a 2016 RHP with a 6-3 198 lb. frame from North Bellmore, NY who attends Mepham. Large, athletic frame with long limbs and a lean, projectable build with room for additional strength. Primary right-handed pitcher, shows a simple and fluid delivery on the mound and repeats it well. Quick arm coming through the backside with a high three-quarter slot release. Uses length well to get on top of the ball and generate downhill plane. Fastball topped out at 82 mph, mostly straight in life. Has a feel for a three-pitch mix, flashed a changeup up to 72 mph and has a feel for a sharp, 11-5 curveball at 71 mph with bite when he remains on top of it. Overall repertoire projects well. Very good student.
