LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2016 Southeast Underclass Showcase
Jacques Gillespie-Taylor is a 2019 RHP/3B with a 6-0 210 lb. frame from Afton, TN who attends Greeneville High School. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present stnregth proportioned throughout frame. Ran a 7.59 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, does a nice job of incorporating strong lower half into release, lands on line, compact arm action through the back working to a low three-quarters arm slot. Able to create angle and running life to fastball with release point, topped out at 82 mph and shows heaviness down in the zone with feel to work either side of the plate. Short curveball and could develop a slider with slot, up to 69 mph with the pitch and short depth, slows arm speed at release. Fuller arm action in the infield and throws across the diamond from a lower arm slot, accurate across, short steps charging in. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a wide and open base with a high hand set and back elbow in the box. Shifts weight well through lower half and creates some torque, shows strength and best contact to pull side but can work all fields, looks to create leverage out front with a full swing path and shows backspin off of the barrel. Very good student.
