LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2001 World Showcase
7’1” is true. We measured him just to be sure. Doherty could possibly throw 100 mph someday. He shows some very good athleticism, rare in a young man his size and his arm works well without tension. Presently he has a few problems maintaining his release point, but has no problems throwing strikes. He shows the potential for a good breaking ball and change. The splitter could become an option and obviously he has the perfect hands to throw it. He struck out the side on about 11 fastballs 89 to mostly 91, but settled in at 88-89 in the second and third innings. His fastball explodes and has potential plus life. He has signed with Notre Dame, but his ceiling (no pun intended) is going to cause a lot of early draft interest. When he gets his release point out in front, getting good extension, it’s a beautiful sight. And it (exaggerating) looks like he’s handing it to the catcher. The sky is the limit and he appears to have the make up to reach the top.
