LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 Northeast Prospect Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Conor Forkey is a 2026 3B/RHP, 1B, OF with a 6-0 200 lb. frame from Fairport, NY who attends McQuaid Jesuit. Large, broad shouldered frame with present physical strength proportioned throughout. Ran an 8.03 60-yard dash. Primary third baseman, fields the ball out front, takes shorter steps on the approach, will continue to refine actions to the backhand, shows comfort in dropping slot to complete play when needed, nice carry across the diamond and ball comes out of hand cleanly. Also pitched, deliberate tempo to delivery, leg lift up past belt and gets tall on backside; compact arm action, ball comes out cleanly from a three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 79 mph, mostly true in life but filled the strike zone, showed flashes of running life; mixed a curveball up to 70 mph with 11-5 shape and occasional slurve finish through the zone. Pitched off of fastball but showed both pitches can miss bats. Right-handed hitter, begins with a slightly open stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing in the box. Physical strength and strength in hands play in swing, gets the front foot down on time well. Looks to lift and able to generate carry when squared up, tends to get uphill with path on occasion, creates present bat speed through the zone. Very good student.
