LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG Sunshine East Showcase (National Showcases Qualifier)
Jake Armstrong is a 2026 SS/RHP with a 6-2 200 lb. frame from Lakewood Ranch, FL who attends Cardinal Mooney. Tall and strong athletic build. 7.22 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense with third base tools moving forward, showcased a direct and efficient path to the ball, working well with the hands, and making clean transitions. Armstrong displayed electric arm strength, reaching 91 mph across the infield with accuracy and zip. At the plate, he starts with an even base, keeping the hands at the midsection before firing through a quick and impactful barrel, recording exit velocities up to 98 mph. Armstrong made the majority of his contact to pull, but displayed an ability to send rockets to any field with authority. On the mound, Armstrong starts his operation with a high leg lift, before driving down the mound with a shorter and efficient arm action. His fastball reached 90, with jump out of the hand and ride, producing whiffs throughout. Armstrong also mixed in a high-70s curveball with 11-5 tilt and a high-70s developing change-up. Good student. Named to the PG Sunshine East Showcase Top Prospect List.
