LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 National PreDraft Showcase
LHP/OF: Tommy Baldridge: Baldridge got everyone’s attention right away with one of the top workouts. He ran the 60 in 6.79 on the wet outfield track and showed what PG Director Jerry Ford said later was “one of the best outfield throwing arms we’ve seen in a long time.” Baldridge’s throws hit 92 mph and they had excellent low on-line carry and accuracy. Baldridge’s batting practice and game at bats showed a slashing hitting style from the left side but not much pop. Probably a dozen scouts waited around the stadium just to see Baldridge pitch but his athleticism and arm strength doesn’t translate to the mound because of mechanical problems. Baldridge has touched 87 mph in the past but was 81-82 mph at the Showcase. There’s a lot more physical ability here that this young prospect isn’t showing. He’s signed with Coastal Carolina.
