LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Northwest Top Prospect Showcase
Riley Riikula is a 2006 LH hitting catcher from Seattle, Washington, with a good frame and build with lots of projection. He has a lively body with good receiving actions behind the plate. Riikula didn’t show MLB pure arm strength, but made up for that with some quick feet and accurate throws to second that produced solid pop times. At the plate he stands upright with a slightly open stance, and looks to lift the ball. Riikula is a middle of the line up type hitter that will do well at his present level, and has a chance to make an impact at the next level. He still has another year to get even better. Riikula is a good left handed hitting catcher.
