LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2022 Jr. National Showcase
Joey Tonnotti is a 2024 RHP/OF with a 6-2 180 lb. frame from Southington, CT who attends St. Paul Catholic. Large, athletic frame with present strength to frame and additional room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 6.98 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, quick and compact delivery, lands slightly open coming down the mound, short and quick arm action through the backside. Pounded the strike zone, fastball topped out at 89 mph with true flight and carry through the zone, shows comfort working north/south within the zone, solid life. Changeup at 79 mph and curveball up to 76 mph showed big horizontal break making for tough at-bats. Similar short arm action on throws from the outfield, short arm action through the back, extra step moving into release, effort out of hand, will continue to refine, shows accuracy to intended base. Left-handed hitter, begins with a spread lower half and does a nice job of staying short to the ball while showing quickness to hands. Gets inconsistent with timing on occasion, shows nice carry coming off when squared to all fields, best contact when getting extended out front and creating leverage, went the other way for standup double in live action. Good student.
