LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Sunshine Gulf Coast Showcase
Howell Polk is a 2022 RHP/MIF with a 6-1 175 lb. frame from Birmingham, AL who attends Mountain Brook. Lean athletic pitcher's build with plenty of physical projection remaining. Slow paced delivery with a pause over the rubber, high 3/4's arm slot, gets downhill well, clean arm circle, will fall off to the first base side at times and loose his direction, low effort overall mechanics. Fastball topped out at 88 mph, more velocity there with physical maturity, mostly straight with occasional glove side cut when he loses his front side early. Slider flashed tightness and sweeping depth and was a solid second pitch for him. Change up showed promise but still working on consistency on the release point. Promising young right handed pitcher. Very good student. Named to the Sunshine Gulf Coast Top Prospect List.
