2024 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Nolan Pontius is a 2027 2B/RHP/SS with a 5-9 155 lb. frame from Clearwater, FL who attends Florida Virtual. Slender young athletic build with lots of room to get stronger. 7.09 runner in the sixty. Primary second baseman on defense, has some bounce in his lateral actions, tends to wait back on balls and be long with his gather and release, fields the ball cleanly away from his body, makes accurate throws with developing arm strength. Right handed hitter, starts from a narrow straight stance with a leg raise trigger and barrel tip load, long and loose swing that was well timed, showed solid feel for the barrel with lots of mid field line drive contact, looks like the type of young player who spends lots of time hitting and polishing his approach. Also pitched, works from a high leg raise delivery with a deep arm action in back and a high 3/4's arm slot/release, some energy into his release. Fastball was in the upper 60's and topped out at 70 mph. Also threw a soft curveball. Excellent student.
