LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 National Showcase
Hunter Barco is a 2019 LHP/1B with a 6-4 208 lb. frame from Jacksonville, FL who attends The Bolles HS. Square shouldered tall and very projectable athletic build. Mid to low 3/4's arm slot, significantly lower slot than last October, lands open with his front side, works quickly and attacks hitters. Steady low 80's fastball, pretty much sat at 91 mph, outstanding late running and sinking life to all quadrants, can back door a fastball glove side intentionally, throws to spots and likes to come inside to right handed hitters. Change up has the same type of life and is a quality pitch. Slider has a short cutter-like break, not able to get over it as well as from a higher release slot. Left handed hitter with a smooth and easy swing, drifts into contact, looking to drive the ball in the air. Smooth defensive player at first base. Very good student, verbal commitment to Florida. Selected to play in the 2018 Perfect Game All American Classic.
