LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 National Showcase
Liam Norris is a 2020 LHP/1B with a 6-4 215 lb. frame from Cary, NC who attends Green Hope. Big and strong athletic build, physical presence on the mound. High leg raise delivery, loose on line arm action in back that hides the ball well, drops his back shoulder before his arm comes forward, high 3/4's arm slot, ball comes out of his hand very cleanly with good extension out front, tends to get off direction out front at release. Low 90's fastball, topped out at 93 mph, gets late run/sink on his fastball and can generate swing and miss on mid-plate fastballs. Works between a slider and a curveball, both flash solid at times with tight spin, curveball is more consistent with good shape and biting action. Has consistently shown elite level stuff for the past two years but has not always been able to command it despite lots of positives in his mechanics and learning how to fill up the zone will be key to his development. Left handed hitter, hits from an open stance with uphill lifting swing plane, shows his strength well and can drive the ball, puts the ball in the air. Verbal commitment to North Carolina.
