LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 West Coast Prospect Showcase
Joshua Barba is a 2020 RHP/1B with a 6-3 145 lb. frame from Norco, CA who attends Norco HS. Tall very slender build, lots of room to get stronger. Simple turn and throw delivery with a side step start, deliberate pace, 3/4's arm slot, lands a bit open and will occasionally get early with his front side. Fastball topped out at 75 mph, mostly straight with occasional running action. Used his curveball frequently, often on the first pitch to a hitter, gets some 11/5 depth to it at times and has feel for the pitch. Rare developing change up. Threw strikes and made hitters swing the bats. Right handed hitter, hits from an open stance with a multiple toe tap load, short middle of the field contact approach, handles the barrel well.
