LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 14U Main Event Showcase
Markeithon Simon is a 2029 C/RHP/MIF/OF with a 5-7 145 lb. frame from Lake Charles, LA who attends Sam Houston. Medium athletic build with some present strength and more to come. Right handed hitter, hits from a straight stance with a leg lift trigger and an aggressive shift into his swing, swings hard and creates bat speed and separation, has strength and can impact the ball, lived on the barrel in the games, very interesting young hitting tools. Primary catcher on defense with the athleticism to play all over the field. Sets up low behind the plate and gains ground well into his throws, makes on line throws with good carry, longer arm action at present, tends to catch the ball well out front, has the physical tools to continue to improve defensively. Showed his arm strength well in the outfield and had lots of energy and aggression into the ball and through his throws. Not as natural in the infield with third base actions. Also has talent on the mound, high energy delivery but holds it together well and throws strikes. Fastball was mostly in the low 80's from an extended 3/4's arm slot. Threw a sweeping curveball with hard spin and big shape for his breaking ball to get some weak swings. Good student. Named to the 14U Main Event Showcase Top Prospect List.
