LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Showcase
Gregory Sherry is a 2007 right hand hitting shortstop from Delbarton HS, residing in Mensham, NJ. He has an average athletic build on a 5'10" 175 lb. frame. Sherry opened a lot of eyes and seemed to be in the middle of a lot of action at PG National, where he ranked #91 among PG National Top 100 position players. He plays with a high motor and looked to be the kind of player that will positively impact a game, in some way. At the plate he hits from a square stance and was very competitive in each at-bat. He is the kind of player that can have a scout erasing his BP notes and focusing on what he does in games. Sherry's swing got a lot shorter in the games and he showed better bat speed. With a barrel that stayed in the zone well, he was able to let the ball travel and spray the ball around the yard. He showed himself to be a good line-drive contact type hitter, the kind of hitter that helps make an offense go. In the field he was a playmaker. Sherry is a tough nosed ballplayer and is willing to stick his nose in there to make or finish the play, a true gamer type, but with ability. His quick arm is above average in terms of raw arm strength. His hands are good and he has feel for the game. Not only is he a grinder on defense, he was also pretty slick at times and was good on both sides of the bag, either starting or turning the double play. Sherry is a 4.59 runner home/1st and posted a 7.13 60 yard dash. Some coaches or scouts will want to move him from the middle due to his footspeed but that would be a mistake. There are plenty of fleet footed middle guys that are not as good up the middle as Sherry is. Look for him to have an outstanding D1 college career and then earn an opportunity to play pro baseball.
