LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Joel Delorit is a 2007 LHP/1B/OF with a 6'0'', 165 lb. frame from Sturgeon Bay WI, who attends Southern Door HS. He has a medium frame that has started to add some strength. Delorit has an athletic delivery with good balance and nice rhythm and pace to it. He repeats his mechanics and release point well. Delorit's fastball is 81-83 consistently and he gets excellent sinking and running action in away from right handed hitters. When he learns more about his fastball and is to pitching to higher level hitters he should learn to back door RHH's on the inside corner with this kind of movment. Delorit's curveball is also a nice pitch. It has a big, wide break to it and is pretty sharp. He uses his curveball mostly against left handed hitters. His 73 mph change up is also a pretty good pitch that he could use more and with his fluid delivery and release, there is no reason he couldn't learn a slider, perhaps to use to RHH's. Delorit has a good idea how to pitch now, keeps the ball low and gets mostly ground balls and strike outs. He is also a good athlete who swings the bat pretty well, fields his position and runs. Delorit is an excellent student who should develop into a successful pitcher at the college level.
