LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG 14U National Showcase
Desten Napierala is a 2029 3B/RHP with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Waianae, HI who attends Waianae. Recorded an 8.18 second sixty yard dash time. Medium frame. Primary third baseman that presents the glove a bit late and works hard to get into good fielding positions and made all the plays cleanly. Also worked out at first base, some feel for the plays here with some glove action and a short arm with accurate feeds. Also threw on the mound. The right-handed pitcher works from a hybrid windup into an above-the-belt leg lift and a longer, in-line stride down the mound with drop-and-drive mechanics. The hands start at the barrel before separating into a medium length arm action and whipping the arm down from a high three- quarter angle. Clears the front side some and lets the arm swing through well. The fastball (1929 RPM) was mid-70s and topped out at 77 with some arm-side tail and sink. The curveball (1900 RPM) was low-60s with 12-6 shape and good vertical drop with some more gradual break. Flashed a change-up with some arm-side fade. The right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open base with a high handset and a high back elbow. Flat bat plane with some impact to the pull-side. Has an idea with the barrel and added a knock during the game action. Exciting player with good upside and some two-way upside.
