LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Jr. National Showcase
Andrew Dawson is a 2026 3B/RHP with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Tremont, IL who attends Tremont. Medium, athletic frame with some present strength and additional room to fill moving forward. Ran a 7.14 60-yard dash. Primary third baseman, actions play well on the corner but moves well and shows lateral range, longer arm action on throws and occasionally gets uphill, shows carry across from higher slot, can drop down release point as needed, maintained balance on the charge play. Also pitched, begins on the first base side of the rubber, side step into a high leg lift with a coil at top, lands closed with strike foot coming down the mound and works across body. Fastball topped out at 87 mph, create life on the pitch through the zone, some slurve shape to the slider up to 78 mph and turned over a nice changeup at 80 mph, low spin rates on the offering. Right-handed hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate with an even base, weight starts collected on backside. Swings with intent, occasionally gets to front foot early with weight shift, best contact to the middle of the field and when working on a linear path. Ball jumps off of the barrel when squared, 90 mph exit velocity in testing and collected a couple well struck balls the other way in live action. Excellent student.
