LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 Legacy PG Showcase  
John Gayton is a 2029 RHP/1B/OF with a 5-11 155 lb. frame from Bettendorf, IA who attends Pleasant Valley. Tall and lean athletic build with lots of room and time to fill in and get stronger. Works from a side step full wind up with a high leg raise over the rubber, long and loose arm action with some extension out front, 3/4s arm slot with a bit of cross body angle, controls his tempo well and repeats his mechanics. Fastball was in the mid-70's and topped out at 77 mph with some running life, commanded his fastball well. Threw a short slider as his breaking ball and flashed a firm change up, relied mostly on his fastball. 8.00 runner in the sixty. Worked out both in the outfield and at first base defensively, was more comfortable at first base with athletic footwork and accurate throws. Right handed hitter, sets up in a spread stance with a short leg raise trigger and shift, rotational swing with a hard turn, good extension out front, made some hard contact to the pull side, can be more consistent but has some hitting tools to develop. Good student.
