LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 WWBA Workout Showcase (June 21)
Damien Bland is a 2027 2B with a 5-5 125 lb. frame from Atlanta, GA. Young athlete with lean frame and wiry strength and all sorts of time to add size and physicality. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.98 seconds. Primary position infielder, working through his reps and angles with some first step quickness and accuracy. Working methodically as he makes plays and will gain more lateral quickness with time. Developing actions with the glove and arm strength that produced arching throws across the diamond up to 55 mph to the bag. RHH starting with an upright posture and lower handset as he works the bat head to impact. Works in an uphill path to the ball as shoulders tilt with some length to extension. Just not enough juice to work the bottom of the ball at this point. Showed his best impact when taking more on-plane direct path to the pitch as he used the middle of the field. A lot to look forward to for this young player who is a good student as well.
