LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase
Justin Colvenback is a 2006 RHP/2B from Gulf Coast High School in Naples, FL, with a strong 6'0'', 168 lb. frame. On the mound he throws from a 3/4 to high 3/4 arm slot with good mechanics and solid arm speed. Colvenback is quick to the plate and his front shoulder opens early at times, but he gets good use of his lower half. He gets good late life on his fastball with cutting action in on the hands of right handed hitters. Colvenback uses a good mix of pitches including a 71 mph curveball, 75 mph slider, and a 76 mph changeup. He sets up hitters well using his fastball to get ahead and then he uses his curveball to finish them off. There is sharp break on his curveball with good depth and it is a definite strikeout pitch. Offensively he hits from an open and upright stance, and shows good bat speed through the zone. He commits his weight out front early causing inconsistent contact, but he has the bat speed to hit. Colvenback has upside on the mound with two-way potential. He is also a good student.
