LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 Southeast Underclass Showcase
Drew Mobley is a 2011 RHP/C/1B with a 6'1'', 190 lb. frame from Madison, AL who attends Madison Academy. He is very young at only 14 years old but has a strong body for his age with some thickness in his midsection. Mobley has a rotational upper half delivery with little lower half in his delivery. He has a short, compact arm action that doesn't extend much out front. Mobley's fastball was up to 81 mph with some arm side run. We didn't see Mobley throw a breaking ball, although he did throw a couple of 72 mph change ups. Mobley is also a catcher and we like him at least as much as a position/hitting prospect. He receives the ball cleanly behind the plate and showed his arm strength well. Mobley has a big power approach at the plate and takes a full, aggressive swing that produces impressive bat speed for his age. His swing is long but he was able to get to inside pitches well. He's looking to hit home runs and he's going to hit some. Follow him both ways but our bet is on his developing as a position player/hitter first.
