LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG 14U Midwest All-State Games (Invite Only)
Andre Purpura is a 2029 RHP/C/IF with a 5-9 150 lb. frame from Marion, IA who attends Linn-Mar. Recorded a 7.91 second sixty yard dash time. Medium young build with the beginnings of some present strength. Primary right-handed pitcher works exclusively from the stretch from the middle of the rubber with a slower-paced leg lift up to the belt. The hands break at the chin and into an in-line arm path and comes through into a shorter, low three- quarter arm angle. Big extension out front and finishes over his front-side. The fastball (2089 RPM) was 79-81 with some arm-side run and ran it onto right-handed hitter often. Around the zone and mixed in a upper-60s slider (2298 RPM) with 10-4 shape and some tightness to the spin. Mixed in a straight, low-70s change-up (1175 RPM) with good fading action to it. Added a double to left field during game action. Exciting player with some two-way upside. Named to the 14U Midwest All-State Games Top Prospect List.
