LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine South Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Alex Welk is a 2026 LHP/1B/OF with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Carthage, TX who attends Carthage. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a leaner build, some present strength with additional room to fill. Ran a 7.55 60-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher, works exclusively out of the stretch, leg lift up to torso at start of delivery, remains on line down the slope and remains balanced throughout delivery and release. Works to a high three-quarters release point, present arm speed and shows a feel for competing on the mound. Fastball topped out at 81 mph, worked around the zone and showed comfort with big top-to-bottom curveball up to 68 mph, throws it with intent and able to change hitter's eye levels. Flashed a sweeping slider at 70 mph, tends to drop slot on its release. Footwork plays around the bag at first base, two hands out front fielding, works to a lower slot on throws, shows coordination in actions and repeats well. Right-handed hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand set and back elbow at start; utilizes a short leg lift, limited weight shift through lower half moving into contact. Keeps hands inside the ball, can work to the opposite field with some strength off of the barrel. Creates present bat speed through the zone, can unlock additional strength with extension out front. Very good student.
